So i had my car white Si for a while now, ever since i had it, the engine makes a taping type noise like rocker noise, i never had a k series or heard a stock one or another 06 Si before so i dont' know if its normal. I just might makin a big deal out of nothing but car runs great so far and about to get its oil change (its at a lil over 3k). any input would be great

 

Have you checked your oil level? (just in case)

 

Sound anything like this?

Mine does, and its def. NOT short on oil

 

wtf is that normal? if so take it back to the dealer and let them know

that sound sucks *** bro

 

Yep, that's my engine. You can really hear the valves...

I use Mobil 1 5w30 and I'm not low on oil, at all. I check it religiously...

remind me not to use that oil then, maybe I should get thicker oil

 

I sincerely doubt it has anything to do with the oil.

 

Don't know about the K series, but my buddy's B18C5 HATES M1...loves Motul, Red Line, etc...

My Nissan Titan had WORSE Used Oil results with Mobil 1 than it did with cheap *** Pennzoil and Havoline. Never did put RedLine in that beast.

 

its unburnt fuel being burned off man. its not your valves. rev the engine once and you will notice the noise goes away for like 5 seconds and then comes back. dont worry. you can feel that tapping noise if you hold one of the connectors, ill take a picture of where u can put ur finger to feel it.

 

i know the injectors are some of that noise. but anyone else know if its not recomended to run mobil 1? becuase thats what im running

 

i was actually considering maybe trying castrol syntec. its 6.18 a quart. anyone know if thats worth it

 

Mobil 1 SYN is great oil for our engines..

just use a thicker grade like

5w 30

 

mine makes that sound too but i only have about 400 miles on it

if your looking at different oils try royal purple if you can afford it. best stuff around IMO
