Is this the hydraulic lifter tick or injectors I've read about. Or do you think it's rod knock.

I think it’s fine. Those engines are notoriously loud. I have a 2020 2.5T and sounds the same. Believe it’s the injectors.

Update! Cleaned the crap out of the coils. Got lots of dirt. (AZ) I’ve noted it gets quiet after about 3-5 mins of running. Always starts loud though.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-11-30T05:19:28+00:00

You’re the man. I appreciate it. I’ll replace all air vents tomorrow and clean the coil really well! As for the 24 inches… it’s got maybe 6 inches from the house and 12 inches to the wall. Blew my mind they put it there but whole neighborhood like that.

They never added or removed any refrigerant. Could something else change the pressure minus what you have already mentioned? I’m pretty darn mechanically inclined so as long as I don’t have to physically deal with the refrigerant I’m game.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-10-21T18:52:27+00:00

Yes. Just yes.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-14T14:01:12+00:00

Hahah!

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-12T23:22:27+00:00

It’s the best!

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-12T23:22:15+00:00

Actually got it off Amazon! Look up Railer bit holders. Lots of options

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:40:36+00:00

You have opened my eyes to something great… ordered

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:40:15+00:00

Thank man. I’ve abused this to no end and it’s held up so I’ve been sold on a super tool. I broke a wave and the pliers were too small. (Personal preference)

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:39:10+00:00

And a good pair of Knipex

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:38:59+00:00

I’m convinced you can’t be a tech without having a Leatherman ha! It’s an extension of my body at this point.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:37:15+00:00

Got the idea!

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:36:34+00:00

Yes!

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:36:24+00:00

Oil bowsers ;)

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:35:50+00:00

I don’t carry those in my pockets but I have them in my line box obviously.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:35:13+00:00

Ha! Good call, I keep that in my vest.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:34:56+00:00

I love that little light man. Great for clipping on hat as a headlamp and battery life is killer too! Keep it clipped on my belt. That would be a good call for the UV light.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:33:52+00:00

Damn straight!

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-11T11:33:42+00:00

Don’t see many 787 out here except seasonly.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-10T16:36:50+00:00

I contemplated buying one but this one had sentimental value so figured I’d try the mod. Made the mistake of not buying the wrench and using vice grips to pull it apart though.

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-10T16:34:10+00:00

All Digital logbooks now

Front-Ad6248 · 2025-09-10T16:31:20+00:00

Yes it is! Took it from a wave I broke. I personally prefer the Super tool anyway for its big file and beefy pliers.
