Id be sure to replace your timing chain tensioner if you haven't allready.
Also be sure to run an oil additive like lucus or marvel mystery oil
-

its pretty tough to answer posts one can't understand. if the OP wants us to take the time to answer his question, then he should at least take the time to make the post understandable.

When you have this engine and this car, you have to realised that you have to run the windows closed, because this car make a lot of weird noise......ITS A TIGER TANK!!!

Amen to that. Can't find an exhaust leak for the life of me. Removed exhaust header to inspect for damage/cracks. Nothing found. Replaced header gaskets (3). No change. Would a damaged cat or pipe on the exhaust cause a ticking after 4000 rpm? Intensity increases with RPM of course.
Sorry for the slight thread jack.

Take It You,s Haters Got No Short Text In Ur Thick Heads Hahahaha
Tensioner Is Perfect,rang Today Shes Losing Oil Pressure,he Thinks Theremmight Be A Bit Of Play Between The Shim And The Buckets
-
Shims??? Did he say shims???
Are we talkin about hydraulic lifters?
IIRC there are no shims.

I forgot my moronics to english dictionary at home. Anybody want to translate?

ok at first i defended this guy but... cmon now man you gotta take time to think before you speak... or type in some peoples case. If you car is losing oil pressure.... DROP your oil pan, check your oil sump pickup, check your oil pump, if you knew how to read you could do some research on this great forum and find that some people had issues with the bolts inside the lower oil pan getting loose and falling into the oil pan.

You have tickers in your engine. Your going to have to disassemble the engine to find and eradicate the tickers. They can cause extensive damage to the valve train if you do not promptly address the situation at hand.
The tickers if allowed to run amok they will propagate more tickings. The ticking grow quickly into tickers. It may already to late to intervene on this gangrenous situation.
A full and complete engine rebuild should be preformed immediately. It is suggested that you gather your bier, wenches, and wrenches and proceed to the closet garage. May god speed you on your quest.

This is the funniest thread I have ever read. Hey stitypera are you from England. You write like you have a cockney accent. I feel for you brother. I can read what you wrote and completely understand. So If you need help call on me. K Good luck with your garage and hopefully they can fix it for you. bye

The injectors are really close to the intake side buckets,, make sure you're not just hearing injector pulsing.. If it is, maybe try Mustang 19# injectors, or just different injectors

I have a 1993 318i and i hear ticking at higher rpm's but really faint at idle... OK first things first ... im a chevy guy i have worked on chevys all my life till now.. i got this car and it runs good just the noise is killing me.. I know the noise is coming from the valve cover and i took it off and to adjust the valves... but there was no way to adjust them.. (not like old chevy motors)...
im thinking its the lifters but there is this black shroud that covers the rockers and lifters and cam... i wonder if maybe that is hitting a rocker and making that noise??? i was going to just take it out but didnt know if i should ..i think that it makes the oil spill on the cam and lubes it???
i also tryed some of that thick ass oil thats like for motors to stop smokeing and makeing noise but didnt do anything...( and no it wasnt smokeing befor that eather). any one have any good ideas or dose it turn out that im going to have to chase down the noise peace at a time???
thanks joe

me luv yu long time

Joe, the M42 engine doesn't have rockers. It has hydraulic lifters that actuate the opening and closing of the valve through the camshaft lobes.
A ticking noise in the valvetrain is definently the hydraulic lifters. When the engine is cold they will be louder - this is common on the M42. If that loudness continues when the car is warm, I recommend replacement of all 16hydraulic lifters and draining the oil. I would also use a really good quality oil like Mobil 1 5W50 Fully Synthetic.

Thanks for clearing that up for me ... i started my own post about the same thing .. hopeing someone would write but look like this post was dead ... people just saing dumb stuff... But thanks man SO is that black thing needed under the valve cover???
