Engine Ticking Noise Rythmic

And thats why it pays to do a proper inspection, generally it saves time and cash.

Ask me how I know...

I was scared of this after fixing the gaskets. Still making noise. With the gasket blown, and losing oil pressure. The lack of oil pressure caused some damage in the heads. I was hoping it would quiet down with oil pressure restored. Is it quieter now then before you fixed the gaskets?

About the same. It’s also in my garage so it’s all kinds of noises in there. After work today I don’t have my second job so I’ll be getting it out for it’s first test drive. I’ll let y’all know how it is after that. And I’ll get the gauge wired up today.

Speaking of which, what did you tap the white wire into? I know it’s the “light dimming” wire.

Ha well at least I had fun doing it overall. If it ends up being a lifter or something it is what it is.
And to be honest my skills aren’t good enough to properly check lifter clearance. At least they aren’t right now they may have to get to that point.

I got the dimmer switch with the gauges. I have a separate switch to dim. You would have to ask someone else to see where to tap.

Had a friend rev it a little while I checked my oil pressure gauge connections, sounds louder underneath the engine :/

Did you change the oil when you replaced to gasket? If you did. What did the oil look like?

Jordan12berg · 09-28-2018, 08:54 PM

Dark. And it was new oil; maybe 500-1000 miles if that. Redline 5W-30

Any silver streaks in it?

Jordan12berg · 09-30-2018, 05:35 PM

Negative, not even as much as a metal flake, just dark brown.

If it is a lifter. See if you can find some BG- MOA oil additive. If that stuff doesn't solve it, nothing will. It is by far the best oil additive I have ever used.

I’ll get some of that when I get a chance here in the next couple weeks.

Got to record some oil pressure this morning.
Idle:25psi/ 1K:30-33psi/ 2K:55-60psi/ 3K:87psi/ 4K:95psi/ 5K:100psi/ 6K:100psi

Need to post your pressures here.

Observed Oil Pressure with a gauge

Your pressures are line from what I can see. Mid range is lower then mine. But are with 40 to 332 pressures.

Bringing this back from the dead. Another observation I’ve made since butting about 1500 miles on it since it’s back together. Still runs fine, still makes the noise. However, let’s say I’m on the interstate at 2500 rpms cruising it will be ticking, but as soon as I give the throttle 30-40% the noise goes away, even at the rpms that usually make it.
