Ticking noise 96 2.5l
- Thread starter hizzo3
- Start date
well i did have a leak, but i fixed that... it was in the manifold... that sound is gone... this sound is like a metalic tick with a gurgling sound... I've noticed the sound is reduced if i use lucas oil treatment.
if i decide to do a rebuild on my 2.5l how much will a upper and lower rebuild kit cost? if its too much i may just find myself a 4.0 xj and start a rebuild on there before my 2.5 hits the dirt.

In my expierence, when the 2.5L motors go, they just go. They don't let you know about it. I've had a few friends with over 150K HARD miles on they 2.5's and they suffered massive failure.
As for the high idle check your TPS. I have had problems with my 2.5 and it either was electrical or was cleared up with an engine treatment. The lucas oil and fuel additives in my 2.5 did cause it to idle high. I quit using them and it returned to normal.
Try running a can of B&G 44K through your fuel. It's expensive and tough to find (some dealerships carry it). But it works wonders.
