Not THAT loud. I have noisy injectors, they are not that loud.

Do your lifters I say, and throw in a little cam, whatever you can find. a 992a seems to be a good choice for a cam and springs only upgrade, or you can have a chat to Jason (greenfoam) and ask him nicely for the ideal cam specs if you feel like getting a custom grind :). Either way you go (I'd say 992a may be cheaper) Jason will be able to help you out for a tune I'm sure.

The injectors on this car are very quiet, completely noiseless in fact. Because they aren't plugged in. The car is dedicated LPG, doesn't even have a petrol tank.

Ticking is less frequent after a couple of days now but it is still there and it misses when it ticks. A new set of lifters and a timing chain are on there way and we are thinking of chucking in a stage two Crow cam.

Also researching LPG tunes. There is a seller on Ebay that will do an LPG memcal for $139.....Can foamy do LPG tunes?

He did a VR engine on gas in a VN for a mate of mine. So I guess he can:thumbsup:

I might do that first. It does roughly 300kms a day so I'll chuck a bottle of lifter free in it tonight and change the oil tomorrow night.

hey man i had a lifter tick aswell not as bad as urs tho, on the lifter free bottle it said after 14 days if no improvenemnt its most likely a mechincal problem and is safe to leave in there to next oil change, so ya shuda left it in your oil longer

anyway good luck man :thumbsup:

Interestingly, yesterday it did the entire return trip without the tick. This morning I was told that it went all the way up running the best it has for a long time. Hmmm....changed the oil to Penrite HPR 10 gas. I will continue to monitor it.
