ok i got a gen 2 teg with a 165,xxx miles on it, and after work i start it up i hear a loud as clicking, so today after school, i checked to see if i had oil, and i did, then i checked the fan and that was it either, what else could it be? a valve maybe?


thanks to all who help.

im looking for a silver g3 gsr now

 

Can't help you with ur clicking noise, but I am selling my 1997 GSR (not silver, unless I am mistaken there were no silver GSR's until 00 or 01). I live in Eagan, work in Minnetonka and my fiancee lives in Brooklyn Park, send me an e-mail if you want any more info...peace.

 

where's it coming from? The engine? Valves maybe? Check your valve clearances. :dunno:

 

First thing to check would be, like he says, if your valves are out of adjustment.

 

yea its coming from the engine, out through the exhaust, ima check my valve adjustments in a minute, anymore ideas as in what it could be? thanks guys. yall been helpful

 

I have 139k on my 90 Teg, I just had the valves adjusted on Monday. It still has a clicking noise from the top end somewhere, but the shop said everything inside was perfect. I am wondering if I have a loud injector? Is it a possibility? Sounds like it's in that area...

:eh:

 

my teg is a 90 too

 

So is mine.

I did a valve adjustment like a week ago and it's noticeably quieter (the ticking noise). But it wasn't obnoxiously loud to begin with.

:dunno:

 

mine is really noticable

 

if you hear a ticking the exhaust it is most likely your valves.

however, those of you that just hear a ticking...those are the fuel injectors. they are VERY loud, but don't worry about it.
