I listened to the heads where the valves are, not much noise going on in there. The noise mostly comes from the injectors. Injectors are like little, individual pumps. They do make noise, I'm just wondering if there is a way to quiet that noise.
They changed my lifters first and still had the noise, they said they found scarring in the engine, and chryler took the engine for testing.....

Re: Tired of the ticking!
I have not heard any noise yet are you using the 0-40 mobile one oil. and changing it when promted to.
The purge solenoid could also make a noise. I would be glade to listen to it if you would like.

Re: Tired of the ticking!
I have only had the oil changed by Chrysler, and I do have the noisy injectors. It's annoying and noisy, but I accept it. (The CLK 63 AMG Black edition on TV made the same noise.)
The ticking I am concerned with occurs when I am accelerating. It sounds kind of like an exhaust leak, but the more I hear it, the more it sounds like a ticking sound.

Re: Tired of the ticking!
I am telling you guy mine did it right after i bought it, chrysler said it was lifters and tried to fix it, then they called and said they are replacing the whole engine including block, the thing is very quiet now and have no regrets having them replace it

Mine ticked like the rest, but I after changing my oil the second time after 2500 miles, the ticking is barely noticeable. I changed it the first time at 1000 miles.

Re: Tired of the ticking!
Mine ticks as well, I'm wondering if it needs an oil change honestly.
Service indicator says 2,000 miles to go, but it has been over a year.
I find it annoying also, but I'm used to it.
