Hey all, I have a noise when I accelerate hard. Sounds kinda like gear rollover when you're idling through a parking lot with the zf5, but it happens when I'm making a lot of boost. Here's the link to the YouTube video I made today. You can especially hear it right at the end of the last...

Installed a set of aftermarket pushrods the other day. It helped a lot with performance and the engine seems to run smoother but it does still tick. Pretty weird stuff.

Ok last update for now. I pulled the PRs out of my parts truck after work, and combining both sets I found 14 fairly straight ones... :fustrate: So I found the straightest two of the 18 crappy ones and installed everything. The ticking is much quieter and isolated to the side I put the crap...

I checked the rest at lunch. There's three or four intake PRs with some bow to them and basically all of the exhaust ones have some bow. Again, the middles aren't quite touching the surface I roll them across.This isn't necessarily looking like the proverbial "smoking gun" at first blush... Can...

Just pulled the passenger side VC off real quick before work and checked the exhaust PRs. They've all got some bending. None of them touch in the middle when I roll them across a flat surface, but they're close. There's always a question of "how bad is bad?" but I think she's gonna get a new set.

Ok so then as long as they're installed with the engine in the right position they should be ok even if they were removed in the wrong position correct? Because the lifters will be able to drain at that point? Good chance I wasn't watching sh%& when I pulled them but I got it where it goes when...

I've heard of lifter jacking, but I'm not totally sure how that works. I put the engine in what I thought was the 11 position when I reassembled everything the first time, but I don't really know what lifter jacking is or what the symptoms would be and what would happen if I didn't get it in the...

Thanks guys! I'm with you thinking it can't be up pipes at this point. I also talked to Caylon at FFD this morning and he mentioned his truck had similar symptoms when he had one bent and one broken pushrod. I just did the valve springs when this all started happening... maybe I didn't inspect...

Hey all I have an update. I installed a set of FFD bellowed up pipes a few weeks ago. Really nice product with good welds and the fitment was good. I still have an exhaust leak pre-turbo. I've been going through the whole thing trying to get the pipes situated better and every time I think...

Ok I was under the hood cranking the turbo exhaust housing-to-collector bolts a little tighter and was able to quiet down the tick a bit. Looks like the passenger side donut might be a little darker than the driver's side one. Went ahead and snapped off a 1/4" extension attempting to tighten the...

Nothing that I've seen. The passenger side under the manifold of pretty greasy so some soot could potentially go unnoticed... There was a slight discoloration at the manifold to uppipe ball joint when I was scrutinizing tonight but it doesn't look like when some soot has leaked out of joints in...

https://youtu.be/NiwlHH9i-Bs Sorry for the double post but here is a short video of the sound. Listen closely around 0:09 and 0:20.

Howdy, My truck has developed a ticking noise. It occurs mostly on deceleration especially with no throttle input, down to about 1,100rpm. It is in time with the engine. I noticed this noise after I had just worked on it: Comp 910 springs and an intercooler. I was suspicious of the...
