I found out the hard way that the lifters were not the problem. Watch to find out. also, in the video, I say porcelain for whatever idiotic reason. what I meant was ceramic. don't judge me. lol
Thanks for sharing i bought a used wrx, loud lifter noise, weird hesitant acceleration. Cobb reading is all fine, DAM has always stayed at 1. Will change spark plugs, hopefully thats the case
wow excenlente viedo, muchas gracias, hice cambio de bujias a mi subaru wrx 2002 y asi empeso a sonar de lado de la cabeza del conductor, y efectivamente fueron unas bujias baratas de napa que supuestamente eran las genuinas. la scambiare de nuevo.
Thanks for this video. I thought you were going to say about the timing kit but you have now prepared me for more potential noises and what to troubleshoot. I am assuming that after seeing one guys video before you that the sound I think sounds like rod knock is going to be from the timing pulleys or tensioner but you just helped to prevent the next major fears potentially! Thanks So where do we get a true Ellison timing kit with water pump and should it be a metal gasket or paper from and where do we get true spark plugs(inexpensive ones just regular spark plugs) and did you find anyone who makes REAL WIRES NOT GRAPHITE FAKE WIRES or do I have to make them myself? What about the coil packs do you have experience with upping the power but quality lasting ones hopefully made in America? I can ember back in the 70's before computer freaks and this deranged alien social order where despite learning about planned obsolescence we still had Real components you could literally repair down to a very small level. Hopefully you will take to heart and spirit a compulsion to make for yourself so we can get back the option of American made and reclaim our proper abilities and re-design the car and motors back to the previous functionality that we have been blocked from by these alien greedy asses making the engines, trans, and cars for computers and mass automated production and such rediculous prices and low quality and endurance. God Bless all our new and up-commit g rebels. I never thought it would become this terrible. God damn Devil damnthese greedy alien scheisers. God Bless and Devil Bless North America from when it was White Red Blue and Green and only maximal 16 million people and they only had to think about making a quality tool or equipment for lifes necessity instead of this false fake everything expensive can't maintain let alone repair anything garbage reality. To get some of you as newborns and sequester you safely to isolated four season climates and properly raise/ rear them compared to this screwed reality and then transplant them amongst these imbasoul less than a retards ass dysfunctional scheisers. They are so stupid and dont know how stupid they are and fight to keep this garbage reality.
My 2017 wrx seems like it has lifter tap, I did have an issue tightening the spark plug on the drivers side so I wonder if I’m experiencing this . Makes me want to double check that exact spark plug
OMG OMG OMG I just did head replacement on an ej25 now I have a lifter noise I didn't have before. I also swapped the plugs and got super cheap ones from worldpac. I didn't touch the lifter or the rocker arm. Nothing. I'm literally racing to work right now bc I'm so anxious to see if I'm having the same plug problem as you
@@michaelfletcher1224 no. I changed plugs and was still there. Glad I ruled it out though because I would have been pissed if I pulled it and put a new one in and that’s all it was lol
@@joevargo22 I am just stupid, that's what happened. I left one finger tight only and it started tapping as soon as engine warmed up. Re-torqued, and all good...
@@czierwo Thank you! I just did a track day with my '12 Rex and developed a pretty loud tap. I've heard knock, and this doesn't sound like knock to me, so I'm hoping my plugs are maybe the culprit. I'm at 65k miles and I have not changed the plugs since I acquired the vehicle at 24k miles. Also checking out timing components, turbo, etc ... big money, no whammy.
Holy crap....what a find. I would never have thought that was the issue. Good work and thanks for showing us

Did it work?
bro solved?

ended up having rodknock😪
Thank you, I knew it couldn't be the lifters and I really don't have the money.
Gem 💎...right on for that info. Crazy how this only has 10 likes. New sub fasho
God I hope that's all it I don't think so thought but loves the heads up on the spark plugs
Same. I just put new plugs in but I don’t trust them . I started having this funky tik def pulling them again . Haha
Jesus H keeeeeerist..!
Awesome find dude!
That was it brother!
Thanks a million !

A follow up video would if been nice
when you line up the crank pully line it puts the pistons at the zero point (middle of the block), might be quicker for anyone else doing timing ;)
You are a lifesaver man!!! Thanks for sharing ✌️
wow unreal thanks for posting !

wow interesting find dude.
I’m having a tappy knocky noise with my 08 wrx rn never would have guessed it could be plugs well mostly because I’m so concerned it’s rod knock
Was thinking that with my 09 this weekend
Thank you so much
If you click on the 3:12 here I swear when he's talking about the spark plug he turns into Ray Liotta's character Henry Hill. Goodfellas garage
Good video very well explained💪💪
Thank you for that tip.
Yo thats crazy - never seen that before lol😅
Hoooo Leelee sssssshit !
Thanks brother!
Shit im about to check this lol
great video

So was it the plugs?
?
I love you! your a genius! so simple but so overlooked
All I gotta do is change my spark plugs?
Did this end up fixing the problem? I have the lifter tap coming from my forester
Hey just wondering did your car make this noise when on the throttle or did it kinda run normal
It ran fine. It was more noticeable at idea close to a wall or center divider.
Pin this
I’m checking this when I get home. My shits been sitting for over a year waiting on space to pull the motor 🤦🏻♂️
Did this help your car?
@@michaelfletcher1224 no. I changed plugs and was still there. Glad I ruled it out though because I would have been pissed if I pulled it and put a new one in and that’s all it was lol
did my timing belt bc i heard this noise, super scared it was rodknock or a lifter and then found this video. doing the plugs today😂.
So whats up with your car? Did that fix the problem?
@@BoostedFA nope, jdm ej206 single turbo conversion swapping it lol
i threw a rod bearing
@@cameronhuard7880 did you have ap installed? Did you catch the knock reading? My car is doing this now.. im feeling it's something bad.
Holy flying fuck... I just changed my plugs, and shortly after that engine started tapping...
Did changing to better ones fix your tap?
@@joevargo22 I am just stupid, that's what happened. I left one finger tight only and it started tapping as soon as engine warmed up. Re-torqued, and all good...

@@joevargo22 😬 good luck! Doesn't sound like yours being what mine did. Wasn't a real knock, just a tick.
Make a video!
After putting everything back together, did the tap ever occur again?
Fixed the problem by swapping the plugs
@@bluerotary22never see that before..crazy
Counterfeit densos maybe?
Great I have a 19 doing same thing
