It's not the design they use now (the LNF style one), but i'm sure it was an updated style from the earliest ones. There were subtle changes along the way, but obviously, based on the amount of '07 cars with problems, they never got it right until now.

 

ok thanks.. ill just order order one

 

soo i put it on.....and still making the same sound.

it's when i clutch it to shift it sound like rubbing of some sort, and goes with the rpm's.

 

wow i think i have this problem...for the last 2 weeks my valve noise has gotten like 2 to 3 times louder and it has been buggin me. I have an 07 as well i guess i will have to check it out and see if i have the old in there as well. Im assuming so tho cuz my car was built in 06 but considered 07

 

ya if you need help give me a call^^^^ its pretty simple. i PMED ya on RME about the header. send me a pic when ya can

 

so its a clicking ticking sound....does it sound like a exhaust leak but up by the firewall?

i have a 06 so maybe i need to get one of those bad boys

mine might be a exhaust leak but idk where its leaking haha

 

i thought mine was a exhaust leak, but it kept getting worse. so i did some research and found out it was this. still havent had a problem with mine.

 

thats exactly what mine sounds like

 

yea like when im on the throttle and drive pass stuff u can hear the ticking so to me its a small leak

but ill get this part swapped when i get the funds

 

Ordered mine today i'll post an update when i get it changed it this week with my oil

 

I'd say this is a must for any LSJ of any Year. It's $40 and can save your engine, just do it and sleep good at night. The install wasn't that bad, I removed the valve cover and that made it much easier.

 

i did it recently...easy as ****, pull the old one out, put the new one in(tq to 55 lb/ft) and be on ur way

 

install mine

 

y? its easy, do it ur self! lol u live to far i dont want to drive to you

 

haha im like a caveman ill just sit there for hours throwing the part at the car and itching my head till its installed

 

lol nice, what about shaun?

 

exhaust leak, i had the same problem. i had a cracked flex pipe, it sounded like a lawn mower before i did the swap

 

maybe haha
yea it was leaking from the top bolt on the downpipe

 

if anyone needs one i have a brand new one for $30 plus shipping

 

So I have heard a slight ticking, but I also have been driving around alot and recently my tach started to jump around 3,500to 5k back down then runs fine is kinda got me worried

 

The build date on mine is 11/06 and to this date with 53k I have had no problems with the tensioner.

It won't sound like an exhaust leak, it'll sound like a LOUD rattle in the valvetrain or the supercharger coupler.

 

So glad I found out about this! My car would randomly make a weird ticking/rattling noise at idle, not all the time though. Glad there is a fix.

 

If it's bad enough it may sound like a lego piece is rattling around somewhere. I add to these post when I see them. I recommend always taking off the valve cover when fixing this issue. so many people don't and that's just lazy.
I took my car in for warranty to fix this and they found other issues. The ended up having to replace a cam that some how hard scaring on it. So this is what can happen if it gets worse. So always a good idea to inspect these things.

 

hmmmm so is there a purpose for taking the valve cover off besides checking other internals or it just for conveniece ? Thanks man

 

besides convenience or checking for other damage I don't know of any other reason to take of the valve cover.
