lifter tick=knock?

[dan2288]

I just installed a big 16g. I have a stage 3 dsm chip and had the stock boost guage converted to read knock. I know its not very accurate but it has be worried. When im barely on the trottle its showing me that Im getting alot of knock. I can also hear my lifters ticking really loud. Could the lifters ticking make it read knock? btw, I ordered 3g lifters and should have them tomm

Does it only happen when it's cold or does it happen all the time? Cause mine does the same thing but only when it's cold outside and the engine isn't up to temp.

 

[dan2288]

It does it cold and warm. Its just really got me worried seeing all that knock...

 

[cougarelimin8or]

How much knock is the boost gauge saying you have?

 

[gbradley]

I've had the knock sensor pick up lifter tick as detonation.

 

[eeeewidner]

I would at least hook up a data logger. That is a lot more accurate than the gauge.

 

[cougarelimin8or]

My car will pull timing like no tomorrow when it does it cause my lifters make quite a bit of noise when it's cold so when you change your lifters you should take care of your problem

 

[dan2288]

yea, im getting a logger soon. Hopefully its just the lifters making it read knock. And im not sure how many counts im getting, but it sometimes goes to about 3/4 of the guage. I just saw knock when I was barely on the trottle and cruising so I was worried.

put some honey(Lucas) in the engine to help with the lifter tick

 

[cougarelimin8or]

Don't worry, when i'm crusin just before i'm about to shift the boost gauge will read almost 14 counts (psi in the gauge).

What's "not accurate"? If your knock gauge says knock, the ECU does think there's knock.

Lifter tick most definitely makes the ECU think KNOCK.

 

[cougarelimin8or]

Yes, it only reads knock when the car is cold and the lifters have quite a tick to them.

 

[dan2288]

okk, so when I put the 3g lifters in hopefully it goes away.

 

[Dsm_Roly]

Once you get the lifters in, theres no hopefully it cures it! If it doesn't you may have a problem...

 

[dan2288]

yea, ill update everyone once I get them in. Will be sometime this week, not sure what day yet.

 

[Dsmj89]

The ticking you hear is normal of these cars during start up untill they warm up and the oil pressure lubes the lifters up. Afterwards it should go away.

 

[dan2288]

well my lifters even tick when its fully warmed up and just cruising at 3000rpm.

 

[alansupra94]

Probably a sign of worn lifters. I think people mentioned getting 3G to solve this problem....I am not sure.

i have this same problem with my lifters they tick when its cold out but when it warms up the ticking goes away then about every other second the ticking will start up again and get louder and louder then it will go away for a quick second then start up again. i have no clue how to fix this i just hate hearing my car tick. i heard that changing to new lifters you will still get the problem because these 4G63's are notorious for lifter tick. but i heard something about switching them with 3g lifters? can anyone help me or tell me how to fix the prob.

sry for stealing ## post

3g Revised lifters. They Eliminate the ticking problem.

 

[TofastForU_99]

so i can just put in like the lifters form a 2000 eclipse 4cyl into my 98 eclipse gst with no mods to the head as far as milling? and everything will be just fine?

 

[cougarelimin8or]

They are 3g revised lifters, as in the the third revision. Not the 3g eclipses

 

[dan2288]

ok, I just installed the lifters. Seems to help somewhat. But im still getting a ticking noise and knock. I started a new thread about it for help.
