hi everyone,
I brought an au xr8 series 3 220kw manual this year.
Mods so far include 3in cat back exhaust, k& n panel filter, splitfire leads and plugs.
Befor all this hapenend i noticed a ticking noise coming from the engine, someone told me that
it might be the pushrods not connecting with the rockers correctly, this noise is getting a little bit worse
every month

can someone please help me to resolve this

cheers daza...

 

Well , Iam going way out an a limb here , my speakers are a lil garrabled, cant really make the sound out to clear-- But yea thats a good start the clearance between the rockers, if it is excessive you will get a ticking. ??/Iam not really well versed with your engine , does it have HYD. Lifter"s , if so when was the last time you checked your oil ??? , I've seen where a oil change has helped this as the old oil was way past its time to be changed has'd thinned out too far ., if its a high mileage motor it might need to be refreshed, you should be able to narrow down which cyl is the worst, an go from there , I know on some Ford motors the oil pump would make a ticking type noise, Ive had fuel pumps do this , An have had various other engine componets do this as well as some emission componets, you just gotta dive in there an dig around

 

yeah they are hyd lifters will check oil thanks
