Why is truck making ticking when RPM increases?
Gravity will keep what oil there is further down in the engine. If oil isn’t reaching the top of your engine, you’ll begin to hear a higher-pitched ticking or tapping noise. More often than not, this is coming from the engine’s valve train components like lifters, rockers, camshafts and cam adjusters.
What causes a motor to start ticking?
The most common cause of engine ticking is a noisy valve train. Your valves have to open and close once for every 2 times your engine spins around. If there is excessive play in these components you can usually hear them “tick” as they shift around while your engine is running.
When to launch, launch rpm and shift points?
It wont go up to the stall speed sitting still as I usually power brake mine to about 2000 at the line. Then when I launch I just release the brake and floor it. Then the converter will flash the rpm up where it should be around the stall speed where the car has the least amount of converter slippage.
What are the shift points on a converter?
Your shift point will generally be a horizontal line intersecting shift point RPM and the point where rpm drops after the shift. If the line tilts down towards the peak,the shift RPM is to high. if the line tilts down toward the shift fall off RPM, the shift point is to low. A flat high torque curve motor will be less sensitive to changes.
What should launch rpm be on a stall converter?
I hear a lot of guys with 4000-5000 stall converters are launching well below the stall, say 2800 rpm, 3500 rpm or whatever. I just dont understand this, wouldnt it be better for launch rpm to be at the stall?
Why does my transmission rpm keep climbing up?
It seems that the gears are slipping and causing the rpm’s to climb up. Check the transmission fluid and make sure that it’s full and red in color. Very dark red or black transmission fluid is an indication that the transmission is burning the fluid for getting too hot from either overloading or slipping gears.
