Hello,
I just installed my ADD W1 oil catch can and there is a new ticking sound thats never occurred before at start up. It stays on for a few minutes until I shut it off. I drove it around and It went away. I'm hoping it is not the timing chain or the tensioner. Or could it be a vacuum leak? There is no CEL/SEL on. No rough idle. I can sort of hear it from inside the car when I drive. I also added a full bottle of Lucas fuel injector cleaner treatment to a full tank of gas this morning before I put in the oil catch can. Could this be the culprit?

Can anyone help or give me some suggestions? I use my G for work driving from place to place. I need it in optimal driving condition.

Thank you. Any help is appreciated.

 

Yeah that's an odd sound? Take the catch can off and see if it goes away.

Did you open the catch can to make sure there wasn't some paperwork or something in it? It sounds like air whistling past something at a very high velocity, like there's an obstruction that's greatly increasing the velocity of the air pulling through too small of a hole.

Did you make sure to tighten any drain screws thoroughly, does it have all it's gaskets seated? Are all the hoses nice and tight?

I bet if you take the catch can off the sound will go away, if so take it apart and find out what's going on inside it.

 

Also make sure you are hooked up to the correct inlet/outlet, most baffled catch cans have a specific in and out line.

 

Yes, I checked that its tight. I added a quart of oil also, and that seemed to make the noise lessen. I'm hoping that its not the timing chain/tensioner.
Thanks for the input, I'll double check everything again in the morning.

 

Check your oil level first thing in the morning and see where it's at. I doubt this is the problem though because it sounds like it's only coming from bank 2 in that vid.

 

Oil level is fine. I checked the oil this morning and for the most part, the noise isn't as loud as it was in the video. However, there's still a hint of it coming from the same area despite tightening all clamps and bolts I think it could come from. There might be a leak somewhere or something. Hoping it resolves and doesn't turn into anything more serious. Thanks
