Is this valve noise? Click click click...
So I bought this car and it's been in storage, and I started the engine today (91 1.6 greddy kit) and its making a clicking noise that sounds like its coming from the intake side of cyl 4. Can anyone confirm that it's valve noise? I'm really not an expert.
I searched which brought me here: https://www.miataturbo.net/showthrea...clicking+noise which brought me here: https://www.miataturbo.net/showthrea...clicking+noise and i've decided my car sounds far worse than the one in the second link. so heres my video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nreiOaCJUcU any and all help is appreciated. diddy |
NAs (89-97) have hydrolyc lifters and their clicking sound is common. Mine started to click when due for an oil change. I could not see your video so I do not know how bad your particular situation is.

wow that was fast! is there anything i can do about it? are there negative side-effects? i havent changed the oil so maybe it will stop when i do that. this isnt urgent because i have to sell my jetta before i can start driving this car. real excited by the way!

Drive it and it will clear up. Sitting will cause them to collapse and driving will evenually pump them back up.

if you wanna help me get behind the wheel, you could buy my jetta ;) that would really solve my problem. Thanks guys!
