Is valve tick normal for stock evos? The reason I ask is cause I noticed my motor has always been kinda ticky so was my previous evo 8. Both these cars were bought off the showroom. So is this normal?

 

its not the valves....

its the injectors

 

OIC so is it normal? Im also using RP motor oil does this have anything to do with the TICKynesS. M1 FTW????

 

dude motor oil has nothing to do with injectors...

yes its normal

 

I heard some1 say after they switched to RP they had valve tick so I was worried. I know that motor oil has nothing to do with injectors. WOW

 

what weight of oil do you have?

 

10w30

 

the ticking your hearing must be from the injectors i doubt that your lifters are bad/
what mileage does the car have?

 

almos 7k

 

It is common on all 4G63 motors. Been common since the first evo which was called the VR4 RS. Changing to a good oil should help get rid of it temporarily, but it will come back again. It is not in the injectors either, just the sticky lifters.

 

You could try putting your fingers on the injectors and feeling the pulse. If it is in sync with the ticking noise then most likely its the injectors firing noise.

 

mine only comes on when the a/c on

 

JAM no-tick lifters --- they help alot.

 

Hah! I just evolved! Doin' the dance . . . feelin' the flow . . . all good things

 

put your finger on the injector and you will feel the pulse...

on motor with 7k on it, there is a slim chance its accually valve tick. the injectors will sound just like a valve tick. 4g63 injectors have always been quite loud
