I recently had my valves adjusted by an S2k mechanic and the car does feel better. Heres the thing that's worrying me:
When the car is idling, the valves are ticking louder than normal...but once you give it just a little gas the noise goes away and the engine sounds smooth. Could this be an oil pump or oil filter problem? ANY IDEAS? HELPPP

 

If it goes away when you rev that sounds like TCT symptoms. Did Billman do the VA?

 

yea billman did it about 2 months ago ... once i hit the gas a little the ticking goes away

 

Sounds like your timing chain tensioner. The throttle blip gives the oil pressure enough tension to make the noise go away. I'm surprised Bill didn't pick up on the noise.

Oil level where it should be?

 

yea . . . imma give him a call this week anyway just to see what he says

 

let us know...

 

sounds like TCT....mine went 2 times... take it out ... sandblast the worm gear, then pin it and re-install.

do you think that might be the reason why i feel like my car doesnt have the power it should? suppose it is the TCT , can that affect the power output?
