6 Speed S4 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Ok, I am getting sick of the ticking noise on my engine. Toyota said I need a new motor. SInce then I drove the car about 3,000 miles. Other people have told me the ticking noise is my valves and I need a valve job. Im looking to get a second opinion/ get the work done. Definitly not taking it to tansky or toyota direct. Would IPS motorsports be a good place to get it checked out at? or should I goto lexus of dublin? Any suggestions would be nice.

Buckeye1647545503 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 well you are out of warrenty so I would find a shop you trust to service it till you (if you ever do) buy a new one. My shop is more than able as well as Ips I bet can too. just go to one and meet the people and see who you feel comfy with. If you want me to look at it give me a call and I can set an apointment.

Billy Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Scott, would you be able to tell me what's wrong with my truck. It is a 1994 chevy with a 5.7, almost 80,000 miles, and the oil pressure drops off when idiling, like to the last mark on the guage, so it's at like 20psi is that. It only happens after the truck starts to get warm. What do you think the problem is? Could it be oil pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 how long since the last oil change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 less than 1000 miles. It has been doing this, and i'm a little worried about it. The truck has always been taken really good care of, but mechanical stuff does break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31rx7 Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 yes that why Im getting it fixed lol The Northend Wrench on Indianola, between Morse and Cooke roads. 263-4978. Dave will take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 The Northend Wrench is a good place. Back when my dad was alive, he used to take cars up there he was too lazy to fix himself. Sometimes, he even took the rally car up there to have certain stuff done. Its about a couple blocks from where I live Joe, I can point it out for you sometime.

6 Speed S4 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Ok good news. My car is at The Northend Wrench right now, Dave called me and told me the ticking is just my exhuast manifold needing new gaskets and has some stripped studs. My cars rough idle is due to a tiny exhaust leak. Total cost will run around 400. Thank god I don't need a new motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only happens after the truck starts to get warm. What do you think the problem is? Could it be oil pump? check it with a real oil pressure guage spec on a small block chevy at hot idel is only 10 or 15 psi does it rise with rpm? I'm am also more than willing to check it out for you and I can take a look at the toyota as well 354-0635 ask for Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
