Re: Mx-3 V6 ticking
what about probe gt's, mx6's, 626's, millenias? if you search you'll find how easy it is to swap in klde or ze compared to a honda swap etc. any of those with 2.5 v6 are 164 hp i believe

Re: Mx-3 V6 ticking
Revv it farely hard till the ticking goes away, haha no jk. Sounds like some mad lifters. But doesnt sound like a rod knock from the video but it very well could be. You would be happier with a DE or ZE swap anyhow.
Re: Mx-3 V6 ticking
i had this problem a little while back, and my grandpa told me to pour a little bit of automatic trans fluid in with the oil, and i did, and it quitened it down for a while.
sounds like lifters though. a rod is like a hard knocking sound.

Re: Mx-3 V6 ticking
hmm.. it doesnt sould like a rod knock, its more head related. My kfze made that same sound.. i drove it like that anyway and it never died.. odd drive it till it dies and swap . however even the klde will destroy a stock auto transmission.

Re: Mx-3 V6 ticking
my car shuts down after 2 mins with that sound
Re: Mx-3 V6 ticking
Just for future reference try putting a big screw driver to your ear then touch it starting at one end and going to the other end of your engine. Both sides. That'll identify more specifically where the sound is coming from. Mine was like that at the front end. Turns out is was the timing belt. No sh*t.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
