Engine is making weird noise

[msp3710]

When I turn my engine on in the morning its making this weird noise like something is rattling. People have told me its the valves sticking but I dunno. I have a hiboost fmic, cai, ebc, tt & all kinds of other stuff. My local dealership are assholes but there is one around my house that is the same service shop as dodge. Should I take it to that one? What do you guys think it could be?

:rolleyes:

Is it only when it is starting?

Or is it rattling when you are driving the car (especially at higher loads in higher rpms)?

I cant hear it when I'm driving. The only time I hear it is when the car is at a stop & a when I turn it on in the morning..

Does it only happen for a second when you are starting it, or can you hear it whenever you are stopped/idling?

How loud is it?

[msp3710]

stopped/idling

It's just your valves making noise until oil gets to them. It's no biggie.

ok i am pretty sure its not a lack of oil to the valves. Your motor should not loose the oil off the valves over night. That should take a week or more. If you drive it daily then you should be fine. I mean there will be less oil there but there should be enough for them not to stick. And it is a biggie if you are loosing the oil that quick or if your valves are sticking like that.

I think this was discussed before, if it's only on start up, then it's the VCTS or something like that.

Thanks. I was putting 5w30 and my father said I should use 10w30. (uhm)

[Rawyzf]

10W is better for the hot conditions.

Take all your spark plugs out and check them.

[msp3710]
