Valve tapping noise ?? HELP !!

[S14Driftr91]

Alright so i have a 96 ka24de...nothing is done to the motor besides an intake. recently i removed the timing chain guides do the infamous ticking noise. after the guides were removed that ticking noise went away.

now there is a new type of noise. at idle the motor ticks slightly but as the rpms increase the ticking gets louder. i was thinking intake valve ?

im going to post a video up later so people can understand what im talking about. Thank you guys and any information is greatly appreciated !

check the oil. same thing happened to me and my oil was really low.

i checked the oil and it seems to be pretty good. i may even have a little more in there than i should. i wonder if going with 10w-30 would be better

im running 20 50
the only way to get rid of any noises
just the car warm up a bit when you turn it on.
all my friends run 20 50

thanks man but the day after i posted this thread it got so much louder... im thinking it might be valves or lifters or even a connecting rod. im gonna take off the head and have a look, if its something in the block... bye bye ka haha

sounds pretty bad. id take off the valve cover and make sure your getting oil up there.

[S14Driftr91]

yea i took the valve cover off and everything is oiled well

what did you do last? did you install a oil filter relocator or oil cooler?

[S14Driftr91]

i didnt do anything like. the car just hit 150000miles and did a normal oil change using 5w-30
