    2015 JK Engine noise

    Nope. It is automatic. The noise certainly sounds top end. Hoping it gets resolved with the cams.

    2015 JK Engine noise

    Not yet. Had to order a few parts. Replacing cams on the right side. The intake has a bit of wear on it. Hard to believe it is enough to cause this ticking. Regardless, I don’t want to pull that cover again if I don’t have to. More to come.

    2015 JK Engine noise

    You are right about that. And I like to do my own work too but I had multiple things coming due at the same time plus vacation so I opted the mechanic route. This is my sons vehicle when he gets his license. I had plenty of time to find a vehicle for him. I really wish I woulda done more of my...

    2015 JK Engine noise

    I completely agree. They do it so they cannot be pressed that they had an early failure. I am so damn confused on this issue. The tick sounds certainly like an upper end tick. It does not sound like a knock. Weird thing is this. I found a few sound recordings I took before the rockers and lash...

    2015 JK Engine noise

    Agree. It is strange. I guess the cam could have gone bad without the rocker but that seems sus. There is a bit of a ledge on that cam that can be felt with your finger nail but I am hard pressed to believe that is causing the tick. I get a sick feeling in my stomach every time I think about it.

    2015 JK Engine noise

    You are correct. All rockers and lash adjusters were changed. I looked at the ones that came out and none were collapsed. I guess it is possible a bad one went in.

    2015 JK Engine noise

    Correct. Rotated through all positions and the 0.005 feeler gauge would not fit under any lobe. I am going to certainly replace that cam. I’m wondering if I should do both on that side. Or heck, really say “eff it” and replace them all. If I do that then I certainly won’t be going back into the...

    2015 JK Engine noise

    So the mechanic has it taken apart. There is no visible damage on the lines of the cams. Some discoloration but no grooves or gouges like I have seen some. You can feel a little uneven area in 2 lobes on the intake cam on the passenger side. He took a feeler gauge and couldn’t slide it between...

    2015 JK Engine noise

    Out on spring break right now. Dropped it off at my mechanic for an alignment after putting on some new shoes. I am sure he will tinker with it. If he doesn’t figure it out and it still ticks I will certainly do so. It is weird though. You can stand there listening and the tick will slowly...

    Wheel Lugs

    On my 2015 JK I have stock rims. I am changing to a set of rubicon rims. I want to put black lug nuts on the wheel. Anyone have a link to the ones I would need? Looks like the current are 1/4-20. I assume I would just need to get 1/4-20 black instead of silver.

    2015 JK Engine noise

    Had a recommendation to replace the purge valve. That didn’t help. Such a weird issue. No error codes. All rockers and lash adjusters replaced. Still ticking. I cannot find an exhaust leak. The weird thing is I have been watching oil pressure. When the engine comes to idle on startup as the...

    By purge valve do you mean PCV valve?

    Engine "ticking" (not rockers or lifters)

    I know what you mean on being hard to diagnose where the sound is coming from. You can damn near convince yourself it comes from anywhere!!
