ticking on my 603
Well ive noticed a ticking at idle or when driving with the window down.
When i was looking under the hood it sounded like it was coming from the #4 injector area. The injector was wet so i suspect the ticking is from the injector leaking? Im scared that it might be my head developed a crack, but there is no oil consumption nor has the car been overheating. Stays at 80 all the time. coolent resivior is still full of coolent. And ive been running it on the new Ultra low sulfur diesel recently no veggie oil or biodiesel this past month. what do you guys think?

I don't think there's any correlation between injector leaking and head cracks. The head cracks in the valve seat area.
Sixto ... stay tuned |

hmm, well from doing a little more reading i came across this thread.
http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=109093&highlight=ticking+603 Could it be my lifters? in the thread they all suggest synthetic oil. But i do have a german synthetic oil in the engine already. Its ELF 5w40... Hatterasguy, suggests mobil 1 synthetic. And i have the new mobil 1 turbo diesel 5w40 that i ordered online. Just waiting for the next oil change to put the oil in.

Probably lifters, they all make some noise. Or could be an injector(s).

It can take up to 10,000 miles for synthetic oil to clear lifter tick.
Sixto ... stay tuned |

hmm, well ill take the lifters being the cause. On the thread leathermang suggested Rislone. Has anyone had experiance with that stuff and is it available at the local kragen or autozone? Or am i going to have to hunt this stuff down.

bought a bottle of rislone and did the oil change with the mobil 1 today.............the ticking is gone!!
Either the mobil or rislone or maybe even both cleared up that lifter tick! Now im happy, the engine sounds qiuet and smooth.
