| hey i just put in a jdm tt motor into my z... no check lights so so far so good but there is a tick/ knock comin from around the #1 cylinder driver side. but it doesnt have this sound at immidiate start up.. only after its been cranking literally for a couple minutes. iv gathered some info and found out that its possibly (most likely) the oil pan thats dented so not enough oil is gettin pumped arond the engine? or maybe lifters. i havent heard what the motor would sound like if it was bad lifters or if was anythign else for that matter. ... if anyone else has a theory please correct me. my question is if some one can help me... if im laying inder the car feet towards the rear wheels, where woudl the oil pick up be in relation to lookign at the oil pan from this angle? my point is to visually see if theres a dent/depression because i do have another pan from my other motor which i know has no dents... but if its not the oil pan i dont want to go through the hassle of changing it out. thanks any input would be awesome heres a video i took to show anyone whos interested in helping what it does sound like... it will hold an idle(set a little high) and at idle the motor is makin just about 20psi of vacuume give or take a coulpe psi
