Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone could help diagnose an annoying ticking noise.
The motor is only 18,000 km old (brand new reco AC Delco motor)
Ticks in time to the rpm, and is ####ing annoying as ****. The harder you drive, the louder it becomes.
I have a few ideas e.g. lifters (which you'd think would be fine being 18,000km old), injectors (which haven't been changed or cleaned over life of vehicle, will be putting new ones in when I turbo charge it in few months), or a leaky manifold gasket (one of the holes is cross threaded or something so bolt isn't very tight in there (will also repair that when turbo goes on)
What do you guys think? I'm sure someone has had this problem. (\
Oh and also I use castrol gtx 20w50 oil and change oil and filter every 5000km.
