Hey all,
So first off, I apologize about starting another thread about a ticking M20. I installed freshly-rebuilt M50 injectors last January and just started driving my car again due to an accident a week or so after their installation. I've noticed a pretty loud ticking since the swap, especially at idle. I was convinced the sound was my valve adjustment, but two adjustments later (.010" cold) the sound is the same. My next thought was maybe a loud injector since is seemed loudest near the injector 4 or 5 area. I took a video of the motor at idle and it really only confused me more. I think the sound is coming more from the injector area but maybe there's something else under the valve cover I should check? All I've really done is adjust the valves. None of the eccentrics looked excessively worn or backwards. Thanks for watching and any thoughts!
Tl;dr My M20 is ticking and I dunno if it could be M50 injectors or valvetrain stuff. Please watch video and chime in!
