b18c1 making odd noise..Help
So lately my b18c1 starting makeing an odd noise. I was running 5psi on stock internals for months with no problems. Then I ran 7psi on stock internals for less then 10 minutes and when i parked it , the next morning it started sounding like a lifter was bad. I checked the lifters and they seem to be fine. Anyone know what else could be wrong?

a noise with a motor is hard to determine over the internet, it could be a rod knock, valve tick or both.
where are you located?

is it a loud fast ticking noise, or does it sound like metal on metal death?
or does it sound a subie with an exhaust?
could be a stuck or bent valve, snapped connecting rod...or your valves might just need adjusting

And is there a way you could get a video up of the car running? That would make it a little bit more easier of identifying the problem.

This is something to ask about. What fuel management are you using?
heck even an FMU is "safe" at these levels but . . .
