ticking noise from cold start-up
anyone know what the ticking noise coming from the engine is? i have it from cold start up then goes away after awhile when its warmed up? anything to be worried about?
cheers
..stay N/A..
i'd say its just the lifters. You can take them out and clean them if you want. But it isnt a bad thing at all.

mine does it every morning for about 3-5 seconds. has done it for the last 50,000km. nothing broken yet, and has not gotten worse, touch wood
Hi wattles. Not sure if it's the same noise you're referring to but I think my exhaust heat shields start ticking when they start to warm up (due to heat expansion). Usually after the engine has run for a minute or so. Only lasts for about 10 or 20 seconds.
yeah i've had the heat shield rattle, it was terrible hahaha when i got my exhaust changed i got the fella to pull them away a little bit which fixed it
but yeah now theres a different noise hahah where abouts are the lifters?

Mine does it. Im not 100 percent certain and im no mechanic but i think it has to do with the oil. i cant remember how to word it properly (lol im having a big blank)
might go and get my free service and see if it fixes the noise

Ive changed my oil a few times and it hasnt fixed it. Maybe it's the weight of the oil im using im not sure
Your freedom ends where mine begins
Yeah, the weight of the oil COULD cause ticking on start up.
Get some Maginitec into 'er!
lol.
Check your oil level too...
I'd say the oil is too thin....
Chuck some heavier stuff in.
Wouldn’t be injector noise would it? Falcons do it…
not ideal when stone cold but rriae the revs just a tad to see if the noise gets faster with the RPM to help narrow it down.
I'm pretty sure mine has the same noise you are referring to and i was thinking it was a pulley on the way out, because i also get a squeel on real cold mornings which slowly goes away after a about a min (im assuming after the bearing has warmed a little bit) but as it dissapears the squeel picks up the same timing as the tick.
im guessing this is my problem Whining Noise
and could be yours too!
yeah im pretty sure it speeds up? doesnt sound too flash and you give it a rev lol
i've had that whining noise your talking around too.. one day it was real bad then stopped? no idea lol

Soo many threads have have been started like this.
ITS NOT OIL! Forget the oil, its a mechanical tick, oil may mask it, but it will get worse if it has to do with the hardening of rubbing surfaces.
Why is there always some backyarder who thinks that the right oil fixes every problem.

give everything a spray with wd40 wheels brakes that should fix the squeaks

Because we're all (most?) backyarder's!
