actually having that clip helped determine what the sound was. Every dsm owner who watched/heard the clip said right away what it was. it wasnt the lifters as i stated i rwplaced them with new/revised ones. 4g63 motors are solid motors for most part if taken care of.

I had the car tuned by a local performance shop the day before and in the way home the next day cruising at 65mph it started knocking. I installed revised lifters and it still made the same sound. Took the motor out and put a new short block on. Car ran great till it was sold and then he totaled it.

Yes, it was the rod bearing. Pulled the pan and there was metal shavings.

I love it when everyone throws in their guess as to what the problem is based on a grainy 240p video upload of an engine ticking. "Its the lifters, its a spun bearing, its a mouse tap dancing inside the crankcase...."

Same thing happened to mine. We put a race head on a new bottom end and it works fine
