Great Cruise Guys, :rave:

Reminds me of the good old Dawn Run, it was great to see so many people enjoying the Mountain, I was surprised we didnt get a visit from the local constanbulary.

Thanks for allowing a Rotary in the mix, the SKYLINE was out of Rego!

Heres are few pics

Hahaha I Think I Was Following You Back Through Bells Line Rd ...hahahaha I Was In The R34

Good Day Had By All .

Yeah,

It was a great run home, I had my mate driving who couldnt believe the corner speed you can carry in an RX8, he kept backing off and all he could here from me was "Keep you foot into it and you will be surprised", it took him a while to get used to the cars phenominal handling capabilities.

The R34 looks tough, and sat thru the twisties pretty flat, see you next time

Hey,

Good to see a couple of you SAU guys joining the SNSW Bathurst cruise. I hope you all enjoyed the day, it was nice to meet those of you who attended.

It was nice to see a good turn out of cars, i think we counted near the 50 mark when we hit the mountain.

Anyhow, we should be organising another major cruise in the next 4 months or so, keep your eyes open and i hope to see you guys on our future cruises.

Regards,

Dean

      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!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      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?
