Sup guys. Since everyone recommended me to adjust the valves before the supercharger; i went ahead and did it.

When i pulled off the intake manifold and the valve cover (front); i was expecting the valves to be out of specs. Surprisingly the valves were at specs; so i didn't even bother pulling off the sway and IMRC and such for the other side.

so my question is; do all of our cars have a audible ticking noise?
i actually have a pretty audible tick at idle.
Do any of you guys have same noise?
should i just pull off the rear cover and check the clearance before the supercharger install?


thanks for you input!

From what I've read it may be the solenoid causing the noise you're hearing, I have it too.

Yeah some tick is normal. All 3 of my CL's did it. Some more some less.

So apparently you've never driven through a parking garage before in the CL?

i noticed that the 6speeds have the ticking noise a little worse than the auto 01-02's, but i dont think its anything to worry about seeing as how your valves are in spec.

HAPPY BOOSTING and remember to disconnect the IMRC!

Yep, the valvetrain is kinda loud on these cars...
