The overall vehicle condition: Average

I bought the car around 4 months ago, and had some big plans for it. But, I've decided the amount I was GOING to spend, is better spent elsewhere (Investing etc)

Car was bought, with a slightly slipping automatic gearbox. The whole car was then quickly converted to manual and as such has:

Brand new heavy duty clutch (max of 2500KM!)

Brand new thrust bearing

Brand new pressure plate

Freshly machined flywheel.

Gearbox just serviced.

I have also fitted new brakes all around, with brand new rotors front and rear

New pads all around (1300KM on these at MOST)

There is a brand new clutch cable sitting with it as a spare.

Spare Buick V6 Motor (Cost etc will be worked out with buyer)

4L60E auto Conversion kit. Including auto starter. (Cost etc worked out with buyer)

Interior is pretty clean, with a few stains in the carpet (There when I bought it) but I have managed to remove some of them (As a testing of a product) and I will be continuing to remove the other stains.

Okay, the car has a Kenwood tape deck up front (I didn't have my CD player at the time)

Standard front and rear speakers

Has a 12" Kicker subwoofer in the boot, with a 200Watt RMS Schnieder amp. (99% sure they're coming out, but can work that out.)

Brand new interior mirror.

Has a brand new set of P6000 all around

Spare tyre is there, and all good.

Central locking works brilliantly. Immobiliser works.

Everything works on it.

With all driving around town - Economy down in the 11-12L/100km

Freeway driving only - Haven't full done, but around 8-9L/100KM from last nights highway trip experience.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
