Lifters still ticking after bleeding.?
 

I need some help here guys. :confused:

I recently picked up a Evo IX RS, it had a minor lifter ticking noise and it was starting to bug me. I bleed the lifters following the bleeding procedure (I didn't soak them in diesel to clean them). I started up the engine I let the engine idle for 30 secs, then reved up the engine to 3k then back to idle (repeated the procedure 10 times) and now my lifters make more noise. :crap:

I was going to put in the GSC no-tick lifters but though id clean these, but now I'm not sure what to do.?:crap:

Engine idles and runs fine and no CEL.

T.I.A Guys

Are you sure it's lifter tick?

Most people mistake injector noise for lifter noise....
It could also be bend valves or a bearing in its way out.

You have to drive it after bleeding the lifter to get them fully pumped up. My car has always had some valvetrain noise. Kinda normal for these engines..

I'm sure, I wasn't patient enough, drove it around the block and its nice and quiet.

You where right, just had to drive around the block and pulled into my drive way and the ticking is gone.

Its a 4g63 they're always ticky.

I know us guys who use to own eclipse use to used revised 3g lifters but, they still get a noisy after awhile.

You shouldn't be able to hear them in your car but, with the hood open sounds super loud.
