Hey all, mods are in my sig. I just got back home from a week and a half trip. I let me responsible friend take my car to HIN orlando. 300 miles total. No biggie. He owns a shop and does stuff for free for me so I know he would fix it if something is wrong.

Nonetheless, I picked my car up from him today and noticed a prominent ticking. I know the lifters are noisy but I have never had it this loud before. Thought it could be a cracked manifold but the car still pulls. Although I didn't take it too much. The ticking gets louder as RPM's increase although anything past 2500, you can't hear because of the engine noise. Before the car left, the only thing I did was slap new oil in it. This time 5W 30 Mobil 1. I know I should have used 10W 30 but a. they were out, and b. I have used 5W 30 in my 500 SRT-4 a ton and never had issues.

Are these lifters just finicky? I want to check the manifold but I see no obvious signs of cracking. Any secret tips on how to find a crack there? If it is the lifters...Are the J.A.M. lifters any good? Thanks in advance.

have you checked your oil since the noise started. Sounds like the same thing that happened to me over a week ago. Spun bearing

An increase as you are accelerating could possibly be a spun bearing. I had a ticking at idle but went away with accelerating and I found it to be my extra o2 housing bung plug had came lose.

I am SURE it isn't a spun bearing. I just went outside and checked it out with a BRIGHT LED light since I heard all of this about the spun bearing. Unfortunately, it is time to call DC Sports as the mani is cracked on a runner in the back. Nice fat crack. I will take it off tomorrow and try to post pictures.

And no...I only hear it if the windows are down and I damn near hang my head out the window.

did you ask your friend what he did with your car?

I trust him. He has taken my old car to the track a few times when his was down for maint. No worries there. It is a tubular manifold. It is bound to crack and I guess 7 months is "pretty good". I will have pics when I take it off. Possibly tomorrow.

you should invest in some motor mounts, that might prevent future problems such as this by eliminating engine movement

I have agency power mounts. I don't know why it would have cracked. I am sane with my car and kind of a biatch to get on it too much. One of lifes mysteries!
