Ok so I know the 4b11's normally have a tick, but is this too much or unusual?

That doesn't sound normal do you have a tune and other mods???

 

Untuned. I only have what's in the sig but UEGO isn't hooked up yet.

 

I recently got an oil change too. I told them I wanted synthetic thinking they would run 5w-30 but on the drive home I noticed it was 0w-30. I know this can contribute to noise but how much of a change would it make?

 

That shouldn't cause all that ticking if anything it should be more quite with that thick oil.

 

Damn....any ideas what it could be?

 

Sounds like lifters I think. Maybe loose valve or manifold leak? Or maybe not enough oil went in on change (sounds stupid but u never know)

 

I have this ticking sound on my evoX too since I tuned my car. I just ignored it and keep driving and it still running good until now

 

Sound like the injectors to me. Our cars make a lot of noise from the engine bay. It seems pretty normal to me.

 

Yeah that is normal.

Every X I have encountered including brand new ones make that noise. With the hood closed it isn't that audible.

 

Normal.

 

Some days they will seem louder/faster. But this sounds completely normal to me.

 

meh mine is that loud. I wouldn't worry.

 

FYI: 0w30 differs from 5w30 only when cold...

 

my 11' and my buddies 12' sound the same. normal
