Engine Ticking Noise Rythmic

If he says he can see it in the photo, I'm assuming he is referring to the bolt head and not the threads. I prefer using torx on all allen/hex bolts - they seem to round off far less often that way.

Yea it was just the Allen head of the bolt. But I did have to order new bolts for oil pan(1) timing cover(1) and cam covers (17) because some of the threads spun. It’s weird I started inspecting the bolts and a lot of them were messed up even before I started putting everything back.

Timing cover and oil pan got rtv about a 4-5mm bead. Fsm said up to 4.4.

I can’t seem to turn the crank bolt the 90 degrees after the 33ftlbs I got it about 45 degrees.

I couldn't get the full 90deg on my crank bolt either.

Sweet good to know. Since new bolts had to be ordered it’ll push this back till probably Tuesday. But it’ll give me time to install the speedhut oil pressure gauge. Any recommendations since you have the same one? I’m going to follow the diy you sent earlier.

Did you get a longer cable from the sensor to the gauge? If you didn't. You may have to splice and make the wires longer. Depending location of the gauge.
