i have a ticking at the far right hand of my engine (d15b2) idk if its just me but it seems like it gets a lil louder all the time...mostly when its cold but still kinda loud...is it gonna blow or somthin ive been babying it havent rodded it or anything shift at 3k Rpms...another thing somtimes when i push in the clutch sounds like a rattle or somthing it shifts fine and everything but just curious any help would be very appreciated....thanks it has alot of miles on it 210k

 

when you push in the clutch and rattles, check the release bearing, pilot bearing and bolts are torqued.

 

mabe two separate problems try adjusting your valves (for the ticking) if you recently did that mabe forgot to tighten one back down and it is rattled loose.

 

i have no idea how to tighten valves im new to all this car stuff lol so if u could explain how or somthin thatd be cool...and btw ima be trying to rebuild it if u guys got any rebuild faq's or anything lemme know plz and thx

 

search valve adjustment that should yeild plenty of results if not here then just try google it is kinda hard to explain your settings should be written on a sticker on the inside of the hood you will need a feeler gauge flathead screwdriver and i think a ten or twelve mm wrench.

 

alright ty very much ill keep you posted

 

just read the second half of your post. i wouldn't really wanna spend the time or money it takes to rebuild your engine everyone is doing swaps so you can pick up a d15b2 really cheap look around locally first you should be able to find one for like 50 bucks to around umm free if you look hard enough. good luck

 

ive tried and it seems no one carrys and import **** around here sux, i want a d16a6 swap but i need somone who knows what they are doing....soooo idk i dont wanna rebuild dont even really want the d15b2 but i cant seem to find anything soooooo..

 

c'mon there have got to be tons of ricers they are all over the place jk you could always get a zc imported from japan i think they run around 600 or so the sohc zc is really just an a6 with a slightly ported head and a bit more aggressive camshaft. also engines from japan average around 40k or so

 

hmmm idk i still need to figure out where i can do the swap at

 

how far away is richmond from Chicago? I could give you a pile of **** for free that your can rebuild with/

 

thatd be awsume as hell its prolly 300-400 miles maybe closer but hell yea thatd be so awsume

 

with those kinda miles (210k) the ticking might be that your pistons have bored out your cylinder walls a little bit.

You know, with the drill press that they incorporate into the cylinders.

(I think he means ovaled or otherwise warped from friction)
