The ICM has nothing to do with the camshaft so changing that won't solve any issues. And I am willing to bet you spun a bearing and that "lifter tick" that you hear is not a "lifter tick" like you think.Quote:

Count me in for spun rod bearing as well. Those metal flakes in the oil came from somewhere.
Metal in the oil.. Yea I missed that part. X3 on spun bearing.

Somethings not right... I have ran my fair share of SN85s and That I can think of right now I have never lost....
Not sure how to add a video on here. I don't beat on my car constantly my buddy pulled up beside me one day and he had a decent 1/2- 1 car jump on me from passin me so I came onto it in the car and in the upper end of 2nd gear I started gaining a little but it wasn't worth bragging about.
I've been aroud motors and worked on them since I was 16 I'm 30 now. The noise is a tapping noise when I first come on to the gas. It's done it since I bought the car just never thought anything about it. I've read a lot of threads and most of them say that with a spun bearing the oil pressure light comes on. There is no oil pressure light there is no metal in the oil now I changed it and am about 500 miles into the oil change with no glittery oil. I believe the glittery oil was from me doin the cam position sensor I had globbed some copper never seize on the bolt that holds it in and I got some never seize in the cam sensor hole. That's where the glittery oil came from. If it was chewing something up I'd see a lot more metallic colored oil that's what I've heard from a few shops around my town and they have listened to the noise and said at the most it is a worn valve guide. So I'm running it til it blows and loving it.
Oil pressure light won't always come up. My last motor with a spun rod bearing never showed the light. Not even driving / idling / beating on it with the spun rod bearing.
Needless to say that block is now a table, but yeah.
Rod knock is worse from 1k to 2.5k ish rpm, as far as noise goes. Lifter tick is just slow ticking then increases steadily with rpm all the way up. Been there, done that on both cases.
Def. should get around posting a video.
Took a cold start video this morning. I'll post a link soon as I figure out how to post it on YouTube.
When my silver car had rod knock all you could hear was the ticking sound, no lights came on nothing, until the engine went boom.
Well no boom yet and I've been driving for over a year now.

Here is the video. Thanks for the help guys
The fact that it's almost a squeek,and tick at the same time ,sounds just like my motor before I rebuilt.It spun 2 rod bearings.#1 and 2.That's what it sounds like to me anyway,hard to tell when it's not in person.
You need to make a vid that is longer than 10 seconds and move around so we can hear the sound from more than 1 angle.
Is what it is. Thanks!
Ill run him :) Then he can stare at the ass end of a GP :P
He needs to be knocked down a peg for sure.
haha well, if he was close to me that could be arranged :D lol
A better race and I could of had him. I've riden in his car. Compare to my car it's not very impressive.
Yours is also not running right so I wouldn't be racing.
Next Wednesday I'm having a shop take a look into the cam sensor issue and I'm going to have them listen to the noise and see if they can tell me me what's going on. Getting my kybs installed and zzp springs finally!!
I'm hoping he can figure out the cam sensor issue and the noise. I know someone with a spare motor I might see if I can buy the motor and start building it up.
