well it's hard to explain what sounds im having. i was wondering what kind of noises should i live with and expect after having this much engine work done. (it's all in my dsm registry) but mainly a full valve train replacement and bottom end. Sounds like lil ticks and thunks here and there. i can hear ticks from the injectors but sounds like some other ones that are hard to pinpoint what and were they originate from. Maybe this is a lil vauge but tell me what sounds you have and what they sound like that SHOULD be there.

my car will sound like, bumbabumbubavrooooooooooooooomrooooooooahhhhhhhhhhhhh, kishhhhhh

My random ticking was an exhaust manifold not sitting flush against the head.
