Valve Adjustment? lifters?
Probably a dumb question but hey, having a dumb question answered makes me not ask it next time...Under light loads like say 5-15% throttle at any speed i'm getting a faint chattering sound, sounds like shaky valves, also happens when the car is bone chilling cold (like 40 degrees and below) right after startup anywhere between 1500 and 2200 rpms but its much more noticeable then and goes away after a minute or two of warmup but still remains quieter at 5-15% throttle. Sound like i just need a valve adjustment? I've decided this week to start collecting my turbo parts and start little by little installs so in the meantime before the actual turbo parts go on i want to diagnose and fix all the little ticks and problems that exist so the motor is a happy motor. Just let me know what you guys think

Can't adjust lifters in a Lancer, only in a Ralliart. Lancers have noisy lifter (valve lash adjusters). They are automatic, self adjusting unlike solid lifters.
The only thing you can do is try:

Yeah i knew you couldnt adjust the lifters, just figured i'd see if it was just a stupid problem that can't be fixed. I had the same problem when i had my 1g dsm, just making sure it was the same thing. I'm gonna get it checked out when i get my alignment done next week. F*ckin belt parkway potholes. Destroyed a brand new tire. bbooo

I have a similar noise, only what i have is a lifter that went bad. When the engine heats up it doesn't go away, it stays just as bad. However I think lifters are only like $8 per lifter, and i should only have 1-2 bad.
