So for the past few weeks ive noticed a quite tick it sounds lile the injectors or could it be spark plugs I juat replaced them there gaped at .38 insteadd,of.35,is that y???,, its making me freak out

lifters, not injectors. It's normal.. don't worry about it.

U sure man cuz it worrys me

Depening on how quiet the engine is, injectors can sound fairly loud.

Im trying to post a vid on utube

I have the same noise and EVERYBODY keeps telling me that it's "normal" and "I shouldn't worry about it" but I do because it's loud and it's noise no other engine makes lol


I would really love to find a decent solution instead of the same sentence

I know right!

..... It bugs me too but there has not yet been a solution and IF something were seriously wrong, you would know. My engine has 144,000 miles, ticks like a watch and will still take a beating in the mornings ( driving like a dick to get to work on time)

Last time I drove like a dick to get to work I got a wreckless driving tickett

I'm honestly considering re-doing the entire top half of my motor.

Cams, rockers, lash adjusters <---I was told those were the culprit any damn way.

then again, I've been told a lot of shit smh...

Not true. A great many engines make that same noise. They are the 2.0 SOHC found in 1995-2005 Neons.

Ftl that and fuckn piston slap

and anything else that got that motor....

Haha

lol..

true. true.


Well, yea... that's what I meant lol

I need a matching rim!!!

^ wanted to buy section......post that there

I have lol

The plastic valve cover doesn't help to quiet the lifters much either, too bad you can't dynomat the valve cover. I really only notice the piston slap nowadays, I must be used to it.

QFT.
An aluminum one will help dampen some of the valve train noise.

If it has higher mileage, worn guides will also add to the symphony. Replacing the exhaust guides helped quiet mine down a bit. But that isn't a cheap option... A reman head is the better bet all said and done. If that is even related to what the noise actually is...

You could dynomat the outside of the VC, if looks aren't an issue.

yep! sounds like a neon

haha

What he means is that your ticking noise sounds just like all the other SOHC 2.0 engines out there. Sad but true.

i know it ssucks but on the bright side my engine looks clean

There is that

now to just hide some of the ugly wires

theres a sticky for that!

lmao

okok im retarded wheres the sticky
