hey guys im new to evo's just picked one up last week and i havent really had the chance to even drive it except for driving it home. the following day i heard a ticking noise sounds like lifters but im really not sure, ill try and get a video up soon. maybe its a common thing? its not injector noise.

mods are intake/fullexhaust/272 cam.

ALSO, i have a rough shut off, im not really sure if this is normal? my guess would be because of the cam but im not really sure so if anyone can give me any info that would be great, thanks.

bump, anyone?

 

A ticking noise isnt enough for anyone to go by, could be lifters, could be a rod, could be a belt tensioner---be more specific ---what happened before you drove the car.

 

ill try and get a video of it today. before i drove the car everything was perfect

 

video update

 

if its coming from the valve cover its probably just a lifter tick . whoever did the cams probably didnt bleed the lifters.

 

would that mean new lifters?

 

or can i just re-bleed the lifters?

 

I highly suggest taking your oil filter off then pour some on a clean surface. If there are shards of metal in it. It has a spun bearing. I thought it was my liters when my stock motor had a tick. Little did I know....

 

uh oooh sounds just like when my rs had a spun rod bearing i could be wrong though..

 

That's pretty loud for lifters other than right after bleeding them

 

uh oh, well i bought some new lifters and i guess ill give that a whirl

 

damn this sucks seems like a lot of ppl are getting these ticking noises
hopefully its something simple gl

 

bleading the lifters dont do ****!!!! thats a loud metal with metal sound, my bet is gonna be a rod knock.

 

did you find out the problem???!
