I’ve got a really high mileage 2018 with a Stage 2 Whipple and E85 making 820/690tq. I bought the car used and it’s ticked since day one. No metal in oil yet. I’m just wondering how many out there are boosting their car with the tick?
After seeing some engines that have the tick tore down at dealerships with no cylinder scoring, and also seeing that new engines are not fixing it. I said screw it. I bought the car used to build it. If it blows down the road I’ll just do a built short block.
24,000 abusive miles with 5w20 and the engine tick. Just switched to Shell 5w40 last week. I will say that the tick got quieter after the whipple was installed for some reason. I say drive the car! Even with warranty it can’t be fixed.
