Hey guys...its been a while. Hope everyones well.

My mate from the gti club sent this, dunno if you guys know about it or want to

go:

"There is going to be a cruize on the 25th April. ANZAC DAY.

the cruize is called SUPERCRUIZE 9 and all the proceeds benefit the

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WESTMEAD.

you need to buy a sticker and put it on your car and well basically that

will prevent you becoming booked by cops on the way down and back. people

without the sticker got booked last year.

The meeting place is a carpark on Roselands Dr (just off King Georges Rd)

Roselands. and the destination is to Fairy Meadow (Elliots Rd) Wollongong.

the meeting time is 10:30 AM SHARP.

BBQ and drinks available at Fairy Meadow."

Just what I was gonna say, the sticker does not give immunity to defects AT ALL

Anyone went down there on Australia Day? The po po had a field day pulling over MOST 'hotted up' cars and defecting for anything.

I for one know that I'll be going in my parents STOCK BMW :D cant risk a Defect a week before Autosalon :D

Hey Carlo baby, lookin good as usual!

I might go but not go all the way so to speak as to get defected, but ill go and hang out with some gti owners and maybe some skyline doods. Good point about the cops and such man. I shall be on more events in the near future.

im goin down, will be with about 7 cars

they are setting up EPA testing station to keep people away from the main part of the city

cops are patroling the cruise as long as you dont do anyhting stupid they wont defect you this comming from the HWP who are going to be there

the cruise happens ever year its the 9th time and as mentioned before its raising money for the childrens hospital so i think you guys can relax with the defect issue as long as you dont do anything supid and stay out of the centre of the city you will be fine

it was a great day guys.

I was in my 31. Not a bad turnout of skylines thoug.

The traffic was moving 10km/h in a 110km/h zone. There must have been at least 2000 cars involved in the supercruise. I left at about 4pm because my car was getting to hot in the gridlock going towords WIN Stadium.

I cant wait until next year

I went down in the arvo by myself for a few hours. Parked in a back street then walked around to grab some lunch. Noticed 2 Lambo Gallardo's parked on the main cruise road so I just sat and wet my pants over them for about 2hrs whilst watching other cars cruise past.

The cops blocked off the light house part so that was pretty stupid ... bloody cops... they ruin all the harmless fun these days.

      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?
