Here is another theory.

I listened all around the engine with a stethoscope and I thought it was actually coming from the injectors. It even seems to spread towards the bottom of the engine. That is why some thought it'd be...

What's interesting is, the ticking does not start immediately. The engine is very quiet after the cold start for a minute or so. After that the ticking slowly becomes loud.

Done oil pressure test today and it was first at 20 psi and settled around 15 psi on idle and went up to 50 - 60 psi at 3000 rpm.


I am guessing those numbers are normal?


Thanks,

I am almost positive I bought an updated OEM. I think I paid around $90 for it. I have found a very tiny piece of rail (1mm x 2mm, I think it was a corner) and a lot of gunk and maybe some gasket...

I did indeed. I replaced the old one with the new redesigned one some time ago although I am not so sure if it were the OEM but very likely it is. Would the OEM make a big difference?


Thanks,

I totally agree with you on that. Car is at 200k+ and it will have to be addressed eventually but I guess I am trying to avoid lengthy repairs right now..

I thought about that but pieces very little and wouldn't a chain guide noise have higher frequency rather than low frequency ticking?


Thanks,

I pulled the oil pan over the weekend. There was a lot of slush but no copper / metal particles. Also the oil pump pipe was mostly clogged with gunk which I cleaned up thoroughly. There were a couple...

So I unplugged each coil to see if the ticking would go away. It is still there. Does that eliminate the rod knock problem completely or would there be still a rod bearing issue?

What the heck is this noise?

Hey people,

This noise (ticking) I have been trying to figure out for a while (attached the video) which seems to be coming from the driver's side of the engine. I thought it was coming from the...
