I traded for a legit real rhd Silvia it has a tick in head it was my good friends the breather valve blew off other night and shut off. Reconnected the breather and car started right up few minutes later it had a tick noise. I am looking for someone who knows sr20det motors that is close to me that can maybe take a look its my first nissan

Tick in the head are the rockers. It's normal.

[Dj6287]

ive heard so many different things such as lifters or lifters getting air in them and just need to be bled or even rocker arms I am really looking for someone who knows sr.20det motors very well to come take a look at it.

[HPKMotorsports3]

It's the rocker arms. You're fine.

[Dj6287]

So u think its dedinayely the rocker arms in jusy worried about needing new motor

[HPKMotorsports3]

They sell rocker arms stoppers if the ticking bothers you. Do you hear it inside the cockpit or when you have the hood propped open? Can you make a video?

[Dj6287]

I'm on my phone idk how to do it from phone but If u are able to text ke I can send u a video from the night it happened 609-312-3850

Well the breather falling off would not cause a ticking sound.
But try listening to the car with it idling and if you hear the tick noise, push in the clutch... Did it go away? If so it's clutch chatter not the head.

[Dj6287]

It's def innately coming from head ill have to try that tomorrow tho but my friend was over revving when it happened so i feel like its possibly rocker arm

[Dj6287]

Ok tried resetting ecu didn't work tried pressing in clutch to see if it stopped and it kept ticking and the tick gets faster when revving but noise is coming from head I believe anybody have any more ideas or love any where near manahawkin nj that is willing to come look that's knows Sr20 motors good

Oh my lord i just listened to your video, I wouldnt risk running the car any more without being afraid of permanent damage, it sounds like hell.

Try popping off the valve cover and see what is making contact.
Did you rev the engine past 8k?

[Dj6287]

My boy over revved the night it happened which is y I assume Mayb timing or lifters or rocker arm

[Dj6287]

Took valve cover off timing chain is tight no play at all I will post pox in few minutes

[Dj6287]

[typhoonslippery]

check to see if a rocker popped off or broke

[Dj6287]

Rocker arms all look good I'm starting to wonder if it is even tick in the head unless its the lifters

[cotbu]

Your valve train looks horrible! I'd clean that just because!
Now here's what you need to do, take your finger nail and run it across the cam lobes. Is there a lip on either side of the lobes, where the rockers arms sit? If so get new cams, problem fixed, I'd also have the head hot tanked and bathe all hardware. You probably starved the head of oil.
Tip: change your oil, and filter more frequently!

[Dj6287]

Cam lobes seem fine didn't.feel any lip unfortunately Igot a call and am going back to work after being.laid off for 2 months so am just gunna cut my losses and sell it and take best offer I get for it due to not having.the time now thay I'm back to work so anyone in nj that's interested is more then welcome to come take it for right price 609-312-3850
