I started it and let it run and it seems quiet now. Took it around the block
I would have to ask the shop. It’s not on my paperwork.What are your piston rings gap measurements? Mainly the top and second rings.
I know it does particularly on that videoHmmm. Kinda sounds like regular injector tick to me.
Think it could be a bit of piston slap? Makes sense since it went away when it warmed up a bit.
If you're talking about the clicking, clacking the product below quiets it dramatically. Expensive but it's a great 1 time treatment.
This is the noise that I’m concerned about. Slowly got better then Went away after a little while yesterday which is why I drove it.
when I started it today it came back. So I’m a bit worried.
On another note I swapped in the RS3 pump, made some fuel lines for the MPI, flashed the EQT tunes and everything is buttoned up.
It straight up sounds like something loose tapping on the valve cover.If you're talking about the clicking, clacking the product below quiets it dramatically. Expensive but it's a great 1 time treatment.

I would get the Cerma engine treatment. I've used it in 3 different cars and a few guys in the forum bought it and were happy with it.Yes. Believed it likely took a bit of time to get the lifters pumped up.
