Ticking noise after manifold install!


its probably the d14 blasting out so much power.

what manifold is it ?
 
it its common after fitting a 4 branch manifold to hear ticking noises its the manifold because its thiner u can hear the sounds of the combustion process more easly,i would still advise u check it for eny loose brackets or bolts and leaks but it is generaly because they are a thiner metal compaired to the original cast manifold.

This thought did occur.

Its a "toyo sports",a replica of a DC Sports manifold,but they get rated on the d series engines.

I really don't appriciate the sarcastic comment!! There was no need for that little snipe, You can see it's not cracked at all anywhere :angry:

Manifold was spot on, when on my mates car and you even commented on the condition yourself when I met you.

Don't suppose you thought of putting exhaust paste on the gaskets as they are used!! The noise in question probaly will be the join of the 2 halfs, did you tighten the 3 bolts before you installed it? As I only nipped them up!

^ lol i've seen so many that you have posted over time, all make me laugh.

brightens up the forum also. :p

you got it sorted yet mike ??
 
Ive contacted 5 sellers of the manifolds/simillar manifolds and they do not re-sell the gaskets seperately! So ive ordered a sheet of gasket material and i will just have to make my own so to speak.
 
just fitted a 421 manifold and decat to my ek9 and its making a tickling noise when i acclerate i think its blowing from the manifold i put the gaskit on what came with the manifold but for some reason it dont look right and dont sound right any one help please
