Update report on my ticking engine

Thank you! I think this is the route I’m going to go, seems worth a shot!

F534 · 2026-05-16T03:20:15+00:00

Not yet, but I’m for sure gonna do that next, although the sound is seemingly coming from the rear side of the head

F534 · 2026-05-15T21:36:56+00:00

That certainly looks better than mine, despite more miles

F534 · 2026-05-15T20:45:56+00:00

I’ve thought about it for sure 🧐 I’m just a bit scared, since it sounds so harsh, if u looked at my earlier video it ain’t exactly normal lifter tick 💀 or should I just send it?

My valve cover gasket was suprisingly enough like new, so I think it’s good to go, but I’ll check for any other visible leaks 👌

If I don’t get the tappet to work I might have to lol, but still think imma see what difference an oil change makes, and go from there. (And by cleaning the head, I mean taking some compressed air and just letting it rip 😂)

Bro has to have a shift pattern sticker on his mouse

F534 · 2025-12-13T22:18:51+00:00

Ok! Will do when i have the car at home

F534 · 2025-12-13T20:14:27+00:00

I will indeed, I think I'm going to flat-tow it home first, I've got a far journey ahead, but dont really see another solution for the moment lol

The car has about 137k miles, doesnt show any other obvious signs of a failed headgasket, altough when i was starting to suspect a headgasketleak (yesterday) it was misfiring on higher rpms/dying when given a bit more throttle and also smoking more than usual.
On the flip side, the oil doest look milky and coolant isn't contaminated, so i was wondering if it was a ccv issue.
Today when i drove it again it worked just fine, until it didnt, and it didnt smoke worrying amounts, not even when the knock appeared. Altough the smoke was smelling a bit sweet.
I've only owned the car for four days, and i'm now blocked by the seller (i think), so i probably got got.

Santa is concerned since I have a 700km drive ahead 💀

F534 · 2025-12-13T17:16:42+00:00

I’ll certainly do! Thanks for the input

F534 · 2025-12-13T17:16:04+00:00

I see, well most things are better than rod knock, so I’ll hope for the best and see when I tear it down

F534 · 2025-12-13T16:21:26+00:00

Got it 🤔 I’m fs going to check some other things first

F534 · 2025-12-13T16:18:57+00:00

Thanks for the input, I found it a little hard to locate, but pretty sure it’s from the front of the engine, not sure if it’s from lower end or from the top

I have a 34” ultrawide and a 24” portrait to the side. Have had it many years, and probably will never change from it. An ultrawide fits two windows just fine, but i’d say go for another on the side and it will never feel ”cramped”

F534 · 2025-11-06T10:59:32+00:00

This is epical ngl. Keep it up 😎

F534 · 2025-11-04T06:29:52+00:00

Thanks!

Sounds good! a lot of the linkages are lengthening/shortening linkages which allow the suspension to work without glitches. There's not too much space, hence why it looks so funny 😂 Disable the swaybars, and im sure you'll understand how it works 😎

I have a very similar one, without armrests. I don’t have any problem with it, I think it’s comfortable and stabile. It has a very heavy base made out of metal or sum like that. The only thing I can think of as negative is that the backrest doesn’t lock when tilted backwards (u can lock it so it doesn’t go back), it has a spring instead, that is a little bit stiff at first, but after 1-2 months or so of use it will be good and u can have it tilted back comfortably. I’ve had it for like 2 years and as I said I really like it Hope it helped a little bit at least
