My guess is the filter not fitted correctly, or just crap and collapsed.
Nothing wrong with Comma oil, if the correct low ash LL04 spec. Have you checked the oil level? Ticking is usually from low oil level, so might just need a smidge more putting in. But if that is right I would imagine it is the oil filter, I would just remove the filter housing and check the filter is in properly. I have seen them put in and the locating pin not in the right place, so it just gets crushed rather than slotting into place, this will crush the filter slightly too and could cause the symptoms you have. Take the filter housing off and wiggle the filter around and make sure it is secure. |

How much by?
That is even worse. I would seriously not drive it until you get the level back down below the max. Have you got something you can suck it out with? |

annoying valve lifters
Quote:
After trying all the measures, the lifter noise still there. I finally attempt to replace these lifters (only exhaust side). my questions are 1, can I set TDC just by 2 QR code up without lock the pin of flywheel?because I am lazy to remove the intake manifold and starter to get there. 2 can i put the exhaust cam back in without the timing tool because no movement VANOS? |

Hello eveyone, I'm new here.
I can hear this (maybe metallic?) ticking noise from the engine, more of a "slight rattle". I'm instantly thinking about a timing chain, I don't think it's ever been replaced. Can you guess from this short video? https://youtube.com/shorts/t7QSyeqJHGA |

I have two 2008 N52B30 powered cars. One I have had 100k km to 240k km and the other 36k km to 80k km. I found that the tick comes down to oil viscocity. If I use 5w30 no tick 99% of time and if any appears on startup it goes very quickly.
If I use anything heavier I will get the blasted tick. Note that it does take many many km for the lifters to blead out the old oil before the ticking stops. I reckon you could even try 0w 20 cause lifter clearances seem to be very tight. Definately heavier oil is wrong. |
