I think he meant put the noise of your car on youtube

 

[jo12]

oh sorry my bad, but from that video what yourll think it could be

 

[Sinbad]

From the comments, he says he feels a leak at the exhaust manifold.

That can manifest as a ticking noise too. Check yours?

 

[Drifter]

Def not injectors. Could be your cam , but something is not lekker there.

Faulty lifter?
Incorrect oil spec?
Badly adjusted lifter?

 

[Drifter]

Why does your cam cover say Honda Motor company?

 

[Defib]

It's not his, it's some yanks car he found a video too

 

[Drifter]

Well , that doesnt help now, does it?

 

[Defib]

Why not? He claims it's the exact noise he hears

 

[Drifter]

Completely different technology between the two engines.

 

[Sinbad]

Completely different technology between the two engines.

VTAAAAAAAAAAAAK

 

[Defib]

Completely different technology between the two engines.

He obviously didn't know that. Give it a rest, are your undies too tight today?

Hahahaha, no.

Has to be a lifter. Did you torque it correctly? And what oil are you using? I assume a thick oil like 10/40.

I know with a head overall,some mechanics will retorque the valves and the head. Mostly they just retorque the head after the 500km.
My brothers mechanic only retorqued his datsun's head after the 500km.
