Hi there everyone

I Have just brought 96 rs4 stag with 140000km on the clock and i have had it for about a week now and today the engine has just started to make a ticking/clicking noise. The fequency of the noise gets faster as the revs increase and i have seemed to located the noise to back of the motor toward the firewall by putting a screw driver against the motor and putting my ear against it. I have a 12 month warrenty on the car so it will be getting fixed anyway but just wanted to know if it could be something serious or anyone had any ideas on what it could be. I have a video of it for you guys to listen to also..

Thanks

Is that the diesel RS4? :P

Sounds like the lifters are shagged, apparently the hydraulic lifters can be cleaned or they will just replace them. Take it back and let the mechanic listen to it.

Haha sure does sound like a diesel just glad it's not smoking like one.

But thanks does sound like it could be the lifters after doing a bit more research on it

Just for one other thing to check, is there any chance the plugs are fouled?

Yeah it's possible. Although the guy I got it off said he had had it serviced when he got it but he also said it had been sitting on the lot not doing much for a few months. So yeah maybe some of the plugs could be corroded and stuffed

Thanks

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
