Typical Rb20de

[RB_GURL]

Hey I have a 20de and it has been making strange noises lately..

There is a ticking noise coming from inside the engine, I imagine its a stuffed lifter..

Sounds like the fan is hitting somthing (its not).

Iv done some research and have found some possible things it might be.

Most common one is big end bearing, i hope its not!

Some say could be knock sensor (as I also have a slight problem with idle, revs etc)

There are also people saying to check for an airleak behind AFM but i dont see how that would be causing a ticking.

I did an oil change on it 5 days ago and it was soon after that, that it started. Could it simply be not enough oil??

Please help!

Thanks!!!

Could be lack of oil, oil pump, oil filter.

AFM is unlikely, false readings (leak) will cause it to run slightly rich, it may struggle a little at idle and that would be apparent by unstable RPMs.

Got a vid or sound recording of the ticking ?
