i have a y8 with nitrous its been very reliable

last night i was driving aggressively and noticed a loud almost valvetrain like noice a ticky knock noise..

pulled the valve cover and the only thing otu of the ordinary i noticed was the following.. and this may be normal but i have no idea..

the part circled on 3 of the 4 locations is seated very well and cleanly





but on the last set it looks like the seating between whatever these parts are is fucked up... like not centered..



am i seeing anything that matters?

help please..

 

that looks like a lost motion assy. When the springs get weak they start to stick and get noisy. I think they are around $35-$45 each

 

naws!!!

Really I am not trying to be a dick but I am kinda lost here it sounds like you asked this ? already. People gave you the answer to your question on what it was. So you ask again are given the same answer and ask for more input all I can say is wow....... How many more people need to tell you the same thing before you stop asking this question and get the thing fixed? Do you need a write up on how to change them out? or where to get the parts?

no i didnt ask this here.. i asked it of some friends via aim.. im asking here so that i dont order parts to fix the wrong thing.... and make sure there are no other things i should be checking..

jeeze relax.. im not that much of a noob.. lol

 

i guess my single big question is this

At rest with the car off.. the LMA should be flush and seated with the rocker arm... if its not fully extended down and flush then its fucked up?

thanks again....

just trying to limit wasted money and time..

too late

 

thanks for the replies.. i didnt fix it yet.. but i looked at it again last night and its definately the LMA... the three rocker arms are at one high and the one that is suspected to be bad... the rocker arms on that set are sitting lower... and the LMA is not fully extended.. so thanks again for the advice its really appreciated...

 

NOT the LMA... had a friend look at it.. and now im not even sure its in the head.... for future reference at stop.. they are NOT all the same..
