Installed a zex 59100 into my JDM D15B, and the lifters are making lots of clicking noises. Valves were all relashed to spec, but you can hear the lifters making tons of noise, anyone know what could be doing this? Please help!!

 

bump, anyone??

 

ahh come on...

 

thats how it works, my d16 with the 59300 sounds like a diesel

 

are you being serious?? There are supposed to be that noisy?? They sound liie you said a diesel. Thats not hurting the motor??? The car is very drivable just scarred that its damaging it.

 

yup mine is really noisy i have ahd mine fore more than 2years and not had a problem

 

they all do it. every zex'd d16 ive heard makes the same noise. ive got a 59100 on a stock head. been fine for over two years.

 

yes mine is real noisy

 

mine too. I hated the noise soo much I took it off and sold it. I couldn't take vitara's piston slap and valvetrain noise all from one motor.

 

I can feel the 4 little (motion assembly's?) canister looking things tapping against the valve cover, this wont cause any damage over a period of time? the car runs fine just ticks like crazy.

nothing is hitting the valve cover lol.

 

its the aggressive ramp rate, and yes it will wear parts over time.

 

my 59300 is also noisy
not too bad after a good valve adjustment, but still noticeable

i have had it for over 2 years, and its good

 

Turns out that the 4 little canister things were installed upside down, causing them to bounce, Thank you d-series.org!!!

 

the LMA's?

What he said.. I can't believe it would even run. Must have been one hell of a diesel.

 

yea how could you do that lol

 

Ran her for two days like that, took her to red line a couple times also. She was the loudest thing in the world, she ran fine just had no vtec. Noobie mistake, but I learned somethin from it. You guys said that they ticked, but I was like "Damn thats loud". Thanks for all the replys guys!

 

Sorry not to steal the thread but dose anyone have a sound clip of how theres sound?

 

I have the Zex 59300 and it is noisy. Stock springs and retainers and it has been on for like 60k miles and over 2 years. No issues. I used to drive my car ALOT. I drive to work and back daily about 68 miles. NO issues. Love it. Feels like a have a b-series. , just adjust the valves every so often to make sure nothing comes loose and to ensure proper clearance.

Damn upside Down LMA's
