New ticking noise noticed yesterday morning
I started my car yesterday morning and I noticed a "ticking" noise coming from the engine/blower. The temp outside was in the 50's and it was raining. I drove it and it didn't seem down on power, and A/F was reading 11.9 at wot and 14.5 cruising out of boost. I have oil pressure and shes full (5w50 motorcraft), but shes ready for an oil change.
I figured it maybe related to temperature since i first noticed it yesterday and today's weather is similar. I only hear it at idle and a little at low rpm. On throttle it fades away, but my exhaust is pretty loud. When i depress the clutch at idle, the sound doesn't change.
I took a video this am. The sound doesn't go away as the car warms up... which bothers me. I have not checked the plugs yet.
The setup is: 82mm, 47s, bap, 127mm jlt, brisk plugs, 170 deg thermo, o/r xpipe. The install was recent and I only have about 500 miles on the car with the blower. I also emailed Justin with a recent datalog (5th gear WOT).
Here is a vid:
This sound isn't normal. Is it possible my blower was shipper without oil?
