Hello guys, I too was one of the frustrated Mitsubishi Lancer owners with this damn noisy tappets , that's until I saw this thread. I must say, all hail Engine Restorer, the cure to my noisy problems. I've tried all kind of things, from engine flush to different treatments. I was ready to push this car off a cliff but just one use of Engine Restorer and my engine is quiet as ever. Can anyone tell after how many km's should I change my oil, I'm now using Shell Helix Plus 15w-50

[ronsin1]

^^^ every 5000 kms

[mitsu4life]

i just tried Schaefer's 20-50 an that quieted down mine quite a bit only on start up it a little noisy an after a few mins its quiet maybe i shud have used 10-40 instead, the other day i had to watch my tach top make sure the engine was on

[*KRONIK*]

shoulda try the RESTORE!

[*Dre*]

Well, if you're as frustrated as I was, by all means try it. Most mechanics will say not to, its for oil compression and consumption. But the can also says lubrication, so go ahead. It works, I tried it Friday, and not a sound since.

[xtech]

u will not hear nuttin ever until about 3 oil changes which is when the build up of copper silver an lead start to break down....................don't use another can of engine restorer until u hear the tick tick tick...............u have been warned this thing is not a oil treatment.

[*KRONIK*]

hmmm..

bad experience i trust???

[xtech]

i introduced a fella to it an he use it everytime had a oil change...............Well lets just cut out the long story he stick a lifter with it

[venum]

i have not used the treatment since

i was testing whether i needed it

if the noise came back, then I would use it

and the noise never came back

[*Dre*]

wow thanks for the advice bro. will wait until i hear the noise again. but, i only used half can though

[JUS4SHO]

with my ck i would clean out trottle body and intake with amzoil power foam and i dont understand it eh but my lifter lash noise use to be gone

[*KRONIK*]

hmmmm...

will keep that in mind!

i have so far only used one can of the said product!

rite now my oil at 4800Km and the noise is very slight on startup (u hadda listen 4 it).

[*KRONIK*]

rite!

we back at this!

rite now my mobil at about 8300KM and i looking to change oil after the carnival!

problem...............

my tappits start back knocking....

do i use another can of RESTORE????????
with my oil change????????

or wait for the noise to come back after one week with the new oil (cuz i know it will)

then add a can of restore??

or if i add the restore will my lifter stick???

and which shell oil duz work good on the 4g15 DOHC??

i feel i goin and done with the MOBIL ting!

holla

[blazing]

i have been using the blue bottle shell since i had my car..4g15 dohc and never get tappet noise until 6000km after oil change. Now ive switched to the full syn shell oil.

[~Vēġó~]

I no longer worry about lifter noise.......... but dais because i gorne






<------------------------

[venum]

^^^ so yuh leave we eh uncle

I added another can of the Engine Restore on my last oil change cuz the lifter noise was returning

that stuff selling hot, plenty places I checked didn't have

[ronsin1]

where you got it venum was looking for it and can't find any

[idlemind]

anybody can please tell me how noisy lifters sound?









yeah i serious

[Rudman]

tick, tick, tick, tick, tick......................tick, tick....

[idlemind]

^right, so what causes this ticking


forgive me if it was asked before
but you see how much pages this is??

[Rudman]

These are the hydraulic valve lifters. They "tick" either when they are receiving insufficient lubrication, or in the worse case, when they are sticking due to gum and varnish, and need cleaning.

[idlemind]

^ thanks Rudman, i also heard that using the wrong body oil over time, can do this too. true?

[venum]

idlemind take a pen and tap it repeatedly on a wooden desk or table rapidly

that's the sound

the caus eof the noise - just as Rudman said

as for teh oil, yes, too heavy a body will cause it

GDI suppose to be using semi-synthetic or full-synthetic (preferably)

it's a common Mitsubishi ailment

ronsin1 got by Faiz in Marabella - $65.00

[idlemind]

oh ho thanks there

a GDI mech once told me that once you change the oil in the GDI Galant for the first time since they arrive from Singapore/Japan, the lifters begin to make noise because of the oil we're supplied.

i firmly believe that GDI suppose to use full synthetic oils only, but his statement had me wondering if the Asian oils are substantially different.
