Damn really? 185kpa is like 26psi at 650rpm.. I thought that was ok? Using 10-60 castrol supercar. What should the oil pressure be with that weight oil?
Mbs206 yea I have a link ecu which tells me the oil pressure is at 185kpa ish at idle.. it seems to be more on the intake side. I have cleaned out the vct and checked for gunk but there doesn't seem to be any. Externally it's loudest on the drivers side under the car.
Thanks for the reply mate, Yes I get that schmutz und drek is most likely the cause if it is a lifter, it just seems highly improbable that a colapsed lifter ticks after it warms up and gets better oil flow and is dead quiet at cold idle.. the physics dont add up. Do you know where I can get new lifters from without paying the price of a tomei solid conversion?
