Message well to start with, i'm getting a slight tick in my engine. its coming from the 5th or 6th cylinder. i want to say its in the heads but i'm not sure, does anyone know of a way to determine if its in the top or the bottom without tearing stuff apart? i feel no lack of power so i don't think its anything real serious but i wanna nip it in the butt before it gets worse.

i'm going through things in my mind, and IF it is in the heads, im wondering what i should upgrade while i'm in there. after the last few hours of searching i think its a good idea for the HD valve springs. but i don't think i need to go oversized valves and such, as i'm on a budget like everyone else.


CZP has some valve guides that are supposed to be better, but what is the failing point of the stockers?

my profile is current, and i usually run 15psi boost, sometimes 20 with 100 octane at the drags. i do have future plans for much more power, but i want my turbo lag as little as possible.
