hey all,

ive done a search and couldnt find much on what i need to no so here goes.

GTRs make this noise standard as they are set with such a large lifter to cam tolerance around 18thou in the old language or .35mm which is a really big clearence and causes them to tick away. Usualy people over react but yours could be louder than normal and i wouldnt worry about it as it is a really big job to fix. If your dead set checking it pop the cam covers off and with a feeler gauge turn the engine over and on the base circles of ever cam lobe check the clearences. If its over 22thou you probably should re shim it to close the clearence but check it first and if you have any probs post here as it will require a massive post to explain how to fix it......Hope this helps.

yeah you usualoly cant hear it in the car only when like you said you roll and everything nice and quite you might just notice but on all gtrs its pretty noticable once you pop the hood!!!! Yours I would say sounds pretty normal to me!

The Rb26 runs solid lifters, or more correctly called followers.
