what kind of sound is it tho? if its not the lifters it may be something your timing belt tensioner. idk its just ive heard weird sounds like that. not sure if they have a loaner vehicle but doesnt hurt to ask. by chance when was your last timing belt change?

wait, should of read your first post more clearly lol. i hope its the lifters!!!!!

 

i was completely off. the ticking sound was coming from my exhasut manifold. a couple of the studs busted off. its a megan manifold. $857 to fix broken studs and new gaskets ouch. thanks for all the advise fellas. couple of days without the evo ouch

 

ouch man! well atleast it wasnt your lifters or something worse but $857.00?!?! thats a pretty big rip off but atleast your getting it fixed! did they give you a mitsu loaner car atleast??

 

I'm glad your problem is resolved, I'm sorry to hear for how much. When you guys talk about ticking and timing belts, can you describe it? I just did my 60k service about 7k miles ago. I did the job myself and I want to make sure I'm listening out for anything odd. Thanks

 

Well I've heard some really crappy stories from Brien lately, this being one of them. Unless they told you what it was and how much it would cost, and you said go ahead. That is ridiculously expensive.

 

brett at brien was suppose to call me this afternoon and tell me the eta for parts before i authorize it. ill call in the morning and ask why so much if there is a cheaper shop i could go to im all ears. oh and they gave a pontiac vibe as a rental no new evo

 

Arsenal Motorsports in Everett, they have done everything to 4 of my 400+hp cars, all ran perfect I guarantee it would have been cheaper to fix ur studs there

 

^or pretty much anywhere else for that matter!

 

NO EVO!?!?!?! DANG THEM!!!!!! lol.

 

i get the evo back tommorrow brett misquoted the price .

 

^haha, he "misquoted" once he heard you could do it for cheaper anywhere else, and that you were now armed with some info. good to hear you get the car back!
