cole098 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 A while back I posted a thread about my EA82 tapping or ticking when I pushed the car a little hard on a hill climb. So I parked it with the intention of Seafoaming it and have yet to attempt it. Today I start and run her and the TICK OF DEATH has disappeared. Is it magic ? Was there divine intervention ? OR Did the space aliens that stole someones subaru parts abduct my car in the middle of the night and fix it ???? And place a chip in my car somewhere to keep track of it ??? I guess I will never know... Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94Loyale Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 It happens, believe me. All of my subarus have done it from time to time. All higher mileage. Mine will tick for a little while, then if you bring the r's up it will stop and not do it for a while. Then it will just start ticking again at some random time. It's just part of life with an old subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole098 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Hmmm but it only has 110K ... again the Tick is just gone no matter what rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94Loyale Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 wow..how the hell did you find one up here with that low of mileage!? I'm suprised I didn't spot it first Despite the low mileage though, the seals and o-rings are still old. My 94 Loyale ticks on occasion, it has around 130k on it or something. If it stopped, I would be happy, until it comes back,lol. Since you don't have high mileage, I would just say the seals and all are leaking due to age.

cole098 Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 No leaks that I see. The car was not local it was from Mississippi .. THERE IS ZERO RUST. I plan on Por-15 the car this year to protect it. You don't have access to a lift do ya by chance LOL Make it easier to paint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 It will likely come back. Nothing ever got fixed by leaving it sit in the yard. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94Loyale Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I wasn't talking external leaks, I mean the O-ring seal things for the lifters and all. And man do I wish I had a lift...but I don't even have a garage to work in :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misledxcracker Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 My coupe had 95,000 miles and that thing ticked whenever it wanted to, and also quit whenever it wanted to. Reseal the oil pump. Replace the pump too, if worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
