I bought a full engine gasket kit and it really isnt but at the moment im trying to find out where this o ring goes (part number 22131-5S10). Thanks

They are a bit sneaky with the full gasket kit thing, So far i looks like ill need half moons, Rocker cover bolt seals, the o ring inside the oil filter housing and a new oil cap seal would have been nice for the money.

The pickup is one place it could go but the kit had a gasket for the pick up and i have the sump back on so thats how its going to stay. The o ring is almost the exact same size and thickness as the 2 centre o rings in the inlet manifold to balance tube. Im not near the car at the moment but will see what i can find when i get back. I didnt check for sizing for the pickup but it would be about the right size. the gasket looked pretty good and im happy with it so maybe it will be a spare.

Thanks

Thanks for your help guys it was the cas o ring! i didnt even think of that one. How funny is it that they supply you with that but not the o ring for the oil filter housing to block connection. No one said it had to be logical.

    • 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?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts
