Help me identify this noise PLEASE!
Recently had the motor re-built after frying a piston ring a few months back. Other than a cometic headgasket and arp head studs, the motor is all stock gti-r internals. The head just has BC stage 2 cams.
Since the rebuild, the motor has had the ticking noise evident in the video below, and both Dustin (Savage) and I are certain that it is NOT rod knock. The rods were inspected well while the motor was apart, and I have pulled the wires off each plug individually to see if the noise stops, which it doesn't.
I've learned mostly everything about this motor the hard way, and am hoping another set of eyes can point me in the right direction as far as where to look and what else could cause this ticking noise aside from rod knock. Knowing my luck, it's bound to be something that is either a pain in the ass to get to or a wallet drainer.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
