I bought this car with this tick and I am really wanting to fix it for good its annoying first of all second it cant be good. I have verified that it is the valve lifter lash making the noise.

I have also searched up and down and thank you for the good information i have already gained from here!

I have been messing with this car for a few days now and I have measured everything at least three times and checked my math several times. I have a pretty solid Honda background so i'm new to all this complicated quad cam timing chain stuff but i can manage that. My real issue is i have ab 8 lifters out of spec and they have been that way since i bought my car. 2 of the lifters i can get replacements for the rest are too big of gap i assume and they don't make them sooo what causes the larger gaps and how do i go about getting my car back on the road? I'm about to upload my spec sheets i have if that will help any.

the Attatchments are pretty self explanatory the first one is valve lash and lifter thickness the second one is my math to figure out my new lifter thickness.

Thanks for the help ahead of time. :thumbup:

 

Delete I moved it. I apologize

 

I have no idea what that math means or anything, however, I had around 4 broken lifters myself.
I took it to a shop that specializes in engine repair. They ended up buying an old broken engine and took the lifters off of that. I ended up paying $1.8k
The labour of taking it apart and putting it back together is whats really expensive, not the parts.

Anyways, if you plan to do this yourself, good luck. The guy at the shop said it was a bitch to take apart and put back together lol

 

I already have it all the way apart lol. But thanks

 

Link to your other thread? I'm going to follow your information to see what you find out. I have a noisy valve or something up top that likes to tap sometimes when the engine is cold, but seats in and quiets down once things warm up. I haven't had the time to try and pinpoint which one it is.

Good looking out on the spec chart. But you might want to put that in a text format, or something a little more legible for us to use for future reference.

Link to other thread. sadly i have more interest in this part of the forum...

 

Those are the specs from my motor. So they would only apply to my car. Lol my handwriting is horrible but oh well

 

anyone else have any input?
