Tappets and injectors.

Recommended Posts

Hey guys. time to put my 328i e36 back in shape. Got a few questions:

1. knocking/ticking noise from injectors = need new injectors? if yes - who should i ask?

2. Loss of low torque power and rough cold idling - tappets have to be readjusted?

Any help would greatly appreciated:)

Ticking from the injectors is normal... knocking isnt

M50/52 engines dont have adjustable tappets.... hydraulic self adjusting lifters

The loss of power is probably due to something else.... I suggest you get it scanned

Thanks for a quick reply Glenn.

Funny thing is when i put two cars next each other, both m52, coupe sounds 4 times quieter. after ripping the plastic off from sedan, i found that each one of the injectors makes tough ticking noise. and one of the chanels on manifold is colder then the others. thought the injector would be dead?

sorry for a childish explanation. thats my first experience with something like that =)
