[Blaze4G63]

i have a 3 in or 2.5in turbo back exhaust so you know i have boost creep bad. it boost at 15+ at wot it seems to be quicker when im not into WOT. i might just throw a stock exhaust back on so i can get rid of the boost creep

Boost creep? I cant view the video its broken... Look into the how to article on modifying the WGA. Alot of problems with boost creep arise because the exhaust flapper only has 1/8inch or so of travel due to the poor design quality of the WGA. Calan explained this to me in his garage at 4am woot.

I believe it was MrPeepers who made the how to. Its kinda time consuming but its worth it in the end. It involves modifying the body and spring of the WGA and then welding an adjustable rod to allow for greater range of motion. This in turn allows the excessive exhaust gasses to be dumped when the WGA opens

Sounded like lifter tick to me.

 

[siege]

Ya you can hear lifter tick

 

[92awddsm]

Lifter tick

 

[magna]

Does not sound deep enough to be rod knock

 

[fran_drivertsi]

I had my lifters ticking on every start up or until I revved it past 3k rpm. A little thicker oil (10w30) fixed that problem easily for me. Else, I would recommend 3g lifters.

Hope that helps.

Just a question but why is everybody including the OP running 10w-30 or 10w-40 its recommended you run 15w-50 or 20q-50 in these cars WTF
I run RotellaT or Mystik 15-50 and see 27psi at idle. I never have lifter tick with the stockers in the 2g with 140k.

Where did you see that this was recommended?

Where did you see that this was recommended?

I would like to know the same.

 

[Blaze4G63]

should i put seafoam in a engine that has less then 10k on it? there shouldnt be that much build up under 10k

 

[JamesRayburn]

How many miles do you have on the lifters? Did you install them yourself?

Personally, I wouldn't rebuild it just because of the lifter tick. Im not quite sure on this, but maybe someone else will come in and verify... Couldn't it be something else other than the lifters themselves? Camshaft (flat spot), roller rocker (loose maybe), valve stem end (maybe broken)... just some thoughts.
