So lately my b18c1 starting makeing an odd noise. I was running 5psi on stock internals for months with no problems. Then I ran 7psi on stock internals for less then 10 minutes and when i parked it , the next morning it started sounding like a lifter was bad. I checked the lifters and they seem to be fine. Anyone know what else could be wrong?

since when do GSR's have lifters??

GSRswapEk

well rocker arms or wt ever,.. Any suggestions of wts making the noise?.. Like could a valve be messed up or something?

NasTHatch

a noise with a motor is hard to determine over the internet, it could be a rod knock, valve tick or both.

where are you located?

GSRswapEk

eastern WV, im hopeing its something like a valve adjustment or something

tucker5129

take it some place.. like nasthatch said it super hard to pin point via internet

NasTHatch

is it a loud fast ticking noise, or does it sound like metal on metal death?

or does it sound a subie with an exhaust?

could be a stuck or bent valve, snapped connecting rod...or your valves might just need adjusting

And is there a way you could get a video up of the car running? That would make it a little bit more easier of identifying the problem.

This is something to ask about. What fuel management are you using?

heck even an FMU is "safe" at these levels but . . .
