may i suggest while you are at it, add in nulon diff treatment to the transfer case. I added everyting on mine except the engine and power sterring for the diff treatment and its much smoother.

Probably more a question for those running manual Stageas but what sort of oil are people running in their transfer case? I've got some Elf stuff in mine (can't remember grade) but just curious

What's the difference between a manual and automatic transfer case?

:( cheers :(

:thumbsup: cheers :woot:

hey gary they are actually different as i have had both a gtr manual tf case and a stagea auto tf case on the bench disassembled totally side by side. its nuthin to do with its operation, only the auto one is alot less heavy duty in its parts and most noticable is the gtr one has 6 lugs pressing onto the clutch packs and they stagea one only has 4 lugs instead so alot less surface area to press the clutch packs together.

thats my useless 2c worth :P

Yeh, yeh, we know. But we were talking about transfer case oil. So the question was what is the difference between the oil you use in a automatic transfer case and a manual transfer case.

And the answer is....................

NONE

:yes: cheers :rolleyes:

LOL yea they are the saeme. BTW when did Bp bought Castrol? I thought Castrol is an american company?

Castrol was listed on the London Stock Exchange, so it's hardly American

BP announced the take over in March 2000.

I suggest that you had better go back to your previous post and remove the incorrect statements, some people may read them and get the wrong idea.

We have used ONLY Castrol lubricants in the race and road cars for over 20 years and never had one lubricant related problem. No, I don't work for Castrol and never have. No, I don't sell Castrol products and never have, I just use them (with total confidence).

:miner: cheers :laugh:

      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?
