LQ4 ticking noise
How many of you are running around with a ticking or tapping lq4. I think this may be a "normal " noise for this 2001 lq4 , but my 4.8 didn't have any noise and its bugging the crap out of me. I replaced the oil pump o-ring . It comes and goes but it most noticeable at a drive thru or next to other cars where it can bounce off of something . I know I am not alone so let me know what your experiences are.

Better make sure you put in the right o-ring. I had the wrong one in there and had ticking, air was getting by the o-ring. Mine when it started would go away and come back then just stayed. good luck

Mine did the very instant i first fired her up. Everyone says it's from the cam,springs,the Titanium retainers make it a little louder as well. But basically unless you go with a larger pushrod like a 7.425 it will be fairly loud. But you risk loosing a little power with the larger push rod so i just deal with it.
At times i think something is wong with it but it's just my head playing tricks on me cause the noise has been there since first start like i said.
