5508, for you turbo gurus.................... Posted by eclipsekaiser, May-23-01 05:16 PM Okay as some of you know that my Gf might be buying a spyder GST. My question is that how come the engine make this loud ticking sound when at idle. I know it's not the injectors because I know how they sound. So what can it be??? valves? what do you guys think? the thing sounds like a tractor. Oh by the way, the stock t-25 sucked big ass on the top end. it does spool hella quick. I'll be looking forward to buying the NER kit for mine. thanx guys...! kaiser

5511, RE: for you turbo gurus.................... Posted by eclipsekaiser, May-24-01 03:49 AM but what causes the lifter tick??? bad oil?
5512, RE: for you turbo gurus.................... Posted by sean, May-24-01 03:56 AM No clue, they just all seem to do it. Try searching for it on DSM talk. I've read things like type of oil or oil filter.
5513, RE: for you turbo gurus.................... Posted by SANDMAN, May-24-01 07:03 AM LAST EDITED ON 24-May-01 AT 12:04 PM (PST) When I switched to Synthetic oil (5W 30) I had a ticking at idle. I put in 10w 30 and the noise stopped, try a thicker oil for ahwile. "The person who makes no mistakes, doesn't usually make anything"
