Alright guys I can really use some help here.I'm going to try to word it as good as possible! I have a built 05 evo8(bottom end, buschar racing stage3 head etc. etc.272 cams and a lil nitrous NEVER SPRAYED YET) I started to hear a slight tick over the head and figured a lifter was starting to dump! So I ordered JAM Lifters and in the week it took for them to get in, like a dummy i was driving the car and ticking started to get worse. Finally lifters come in, install them, and still a loud tick on deceleration and dies out at idle but still I can hear a little bit at idle. It sounds like its coming from the head but with a pair of stethoscopes you can hear a noise from almost anywhere, i put them on the( BLOCK, TRANNY, HEAD A LITTLE BIT, INTAKE MANIFOLD) I really just wanna know if anyone has had this problem before, and i can go straight to the problem and fix instead of taking the whole motor apart (which i think i'm gonna have to do anyways )

Sorry if it was a long post, but i can really use some help! Much appreciated

 

Anyone?

 

What injectors are you running?

 

Hey alpha i was thinking it was the injectors but i dont know, im still running stock injectors and i've been running them maxed out for a while could that be the problem? is there a way to check that?

oh and the cars has been going through plugs and leaning out on me breaking up under load

 

Could be the injectors. I would see if you cant rule those out. Take a couple hours this weekend. Swap out the injectors Have had it happen before

 

Man i hope thats the problem. I really dont wanna take the motor out again! ill keep you updated... Thanks for the help

 

Hey im not an expert but i would also suggest the injectors. if for some reason there is something wrong with one of your injectors, your engine may be running lean. Sometimes if your engine runs to lean it causes the piston to expand and scratch against the cylinder wall, and that may be your ticking. The same thing happened to by brothers dirt bike, but thats a completely different engine type and situation. but just my theory.

good luck with the problem, i hope everything works out for the best.

 

Well its not the injectors , it sounds more of a deep loud ticking noise coming from the front of the head(Exhaust manifold side). Im just going to take it to the shop to get it checked out thanks for the help guys!!!

 

But if anybody might know what it could be please feel free to post up thanks guys very big help!!!

P.s i've taken it to a couple places and a couple friends that are mechanics and they all say its lifters( cause thats what it sounds like) but Like I said i Jus in stalled JAM lifters in the car, had a master tech install them. again any help is great!!!

 

Were the lifters bled when the cams went in?

 

Its a time bomb.. Pretty much its all in your head preparing you for when you spray the NOS, the motors gunna blow

JK.. sorry I couldnt be of any help.. I figure humor might enlighten the situation lol

 

the same thing is happening to my car right now...i havent even done anything major to it...i only have 15000 on my 9 mr...its making a ticking noise starting at 3000 rpm then when i put it on nuetral it goes away. I'm going to take it in tomorrow because I talked to one of the mitsubishi mechanic and he said it could be the lifters..i will post the results tomorrow and see if have the same problem as me...peace

 

Did ya fix the problem?

 

my car ticks too, rather annoying

 

my car ticks too on acceleration. the noise comes from the left side. especially when i am going uphill. so what can this be? only mods are on my sig. i only have 21k miles.
