After dropping from 6th to 4th in an effort to avoid an accident on the freeway today, I mechanically over revved my engine
I now have a slight ticking sound from about 2k rpm to 3k rpm. Happens when warned up.
Bent valve?
Valve retainer cracked?
Tct?

Searched but came up short.

Any advice is appreciated.

I don't have a video yet

Might wanna post a video of it.. hard to say. There are videos on youtube that you can listen to and even compare it yourself to get an idea at what it may be.

bent valve. cracked retainers dont make noise. tct has nothing to do with over revs

6 to 4? Is 4 like over 100mph?

Las2000

I was going approx 75

Yeah there's no way 75 is an overrev in 4th...maybe you meant to hit 4th but hit 2nd?

My guess is that it seemed like an overrev just because in an emergency you probably dumped the clutch and the engine rpm shot up violently.

I bet the ticking is the TCT just not sure it has anything to do with you dropping from 6th to 4th....maybe a coincidence?

4th is around is 115mph

Las2000

Sorry about that. Meant to say 2nd.

yeah 4th would be fine. 2nd on the other hand.. if you're going 75 in 2nd.. you're looking at 10000k rpm or more. Bent valve(s) would be my guess. AND cracked retainers if you have an AP1 the chances are higher. Which means I would not drive the car until you do two things. 1) Pull the valve cover (Takes like 5 mins) and inspect the intake side valve retainers. If they're not sunken in they're good. 2) Do a compression test. Use a good gauge (I used one from Oriellys and it gave me bad results). And do a leakdown test. Leakdown test will show you where the problem is.

im with the bent valve theory...do a leak down test to found out which one(s)...i highly recommend not driving the car anymore until you can get it figured out and fixed
