I will pass by Rockville tomorrow of 270 if you want me to pass by and hear the tick I can.. I wont have much time but I i can take a quick look. I have been an evo owner since 03 so I can tell when they sound different.

I have a friend that works at Tischer BMW. I used to live in Rockville. Ill give him a call and see if he would be free to hear that noise for you

 

that would be awesome. pm me and i will give you my address

 

Az3ar stopped by today to take a look at the car and hear the noise today and said at idle it sounded normal but thinks that something in the valve train might be coming loose. he also said the car need alot of general maintenance done. so what i am going to do is tow it to a shop tomorrow and have them diagnose it and get what ever is wrong fixed and checked out. so i will keep all of you posted what is found causing the problem

 

Yes I saw the car today, I don’t want to go into too much detail but the car needs a lot of basic maintenance. I advised him to do a compression check and a leak test first. Something is loose in the head however the engine is spinning fine.

 

yea, thanks for coming out to take a look at it today.

 

so i thought i would let you all know, i took it to a local shop and found out that the engine is blown and it has a rod knock. its not what i wanted to hear but the engine is going to get rebuilt.

 

Wow that kinda sucks. Sorry to hear about that but now the modding can begin! LOL BTW you have PM.

i was just gonna post and say spun bearing.
happened to me this weekend. oil light flickered at idle after a track run. dismissed it knowing the oil pressure sensors have issues.
on the way home, i hear a very light ticking noise, not even a knocking noise. and it seemed that it was coming through the top.
pulled the oil pan last night and #4 rod bearing was slightly worn down.

 

Sorry - I thought I'd read the entire thread.

 

Damn Im getting the same issues for my EVOSIS. I have been using 5w30 like a chooch. Good thing my banana is due for an oil change. I'll be going for the recommended 10w30.

As for my case, the check oil light would flicker off and on while at idle. I am not getting any ticking noises though. I'm guessin mine has to do with more electrical more than anything. Did you guys say the oil sending unit is underneath the IM????

 

i have a slight ticking sound in my car. no oil light flicker. on my previous posts i was told the injectors tick pretty loud.

i change my oil every 2000kms. Amsoil 10W-40!
