There is a ticking noise in my head when I get to 3000-3500rpm,
I am not quite sure what to do about it. Would the valves need adjusting or is this another problem?

TIA

 

I guess it would be a good idea to say it's a '89 KA24E.

 

prolly ur chain guide, just remove the top one

 

Maybe its a ticking lifter. Try seafoam.

 

prob valve tap, adjust shims.

 

Try all three? Haha, well...I'm not thinking it's the timing chain guides because it seems to be coming from the back driver side. It does it when I start the car and also from 3000-3500rpm. I will, however, try these things. Thanks guys!

 

I had that too and the seafoam cleared it right up. Good luck man. By the way, one can of seafoam is good to put in the gas for injectors, the oil for the valvetrain and such, and the vaccuum hoses for carbon buildup and such.

 

dont mean to hijak the thread but how do you seafoam?

 

No problem man...

sweet thanks

 

dont put it in the crankcase unless you're prepaired to deal with possible oil leaks. sometimes the sludge build up is holding it all in.

 

i need to seafoam my 1990 but im scared of all the leaks that i KNOW will occur

 

Yeah I've heard of instances were older cars started to leak in areas were the seafom was used. So caution must be taken.

 

yo man it is fer sure tha chain guide i had tha same prob on my ka24de 93, it was pissing me off then i took off the valve cover and it was just chillin there broken off so juss take it out *** long as your timing chain is decently tight.

 

I have the same prob. i thought it was something vibrating in the engine bay.
did you all's sound like something vibrating in the engine bay?

ill check the chain guide.....
and post pics.

i was thinking of doing the SEAFOAM clean up.

should i do it before or after removing the chain guide?
