Jason'sLawnCare · 07-07-2009, 07:08 PM

I think you did this just to show off your fancy tools. Just kidding. Nice writeup.

Thanks

Ah! That wasnt a drill. I have an electric socket driver, and that was a flexable extension.

Jason'sLawnCare · 07-07-2009, 07:34 PM

Cool. I didn't know those existed. Seems handy.

he said there's more than one tick. So maybe your loudest one isn't from there.

Correct. You will still be able to hear the valve train, and injectors, but the ticking from the VSV actuating will be muted.

06RedComa · 07-08-2009, 04:08 PM

Awesome write up and the video was a nice touch

tacoholic · 07-08-2009, 04:45 PM

What? You don't even start it up to show us it doesn't tick as much? I call shenanigans!

SHENANIGANS!!!

Well...alright but I still think we should get a vid of it not ticking.

usctacoma · 07-08-2009, 08:52 PM

Nice video. Ive always wanted to tame that damn ticking.

tammikm · 07-09-2009, 04:46 AM

did this on mine and it quited the ticking quite a bit, not 100% but its certainly better

thanks

nad · 07-09-2009, 11:11 AM

I have done this to mine, I still have a tick that I assume is coming from the valves or lifters, as well on monday I am having the manifold tsb done.

URBIKESUCKS · 07-09-2009, 02:42 PM

Glad to hear I am not going crazy, The engine in theses are def noisy.

w8n4mud · 07-10-2009, 03:44 PM

Perhaps a before and after video of the noise would be helpful. Not sure of the ticking is the same one I'm hearing or if it's something else.
Other than that, nice write up.

I tried to get it on video, but my camera pics up all noises from the engine. Fan, valve train, etc., making it hard to identify the ticking.

I'm 1/2 deaf anyway so I take the cheap way out an turn up the radio..
