my car just 3 days ago started ticking. like a lifter tick. oil pressure is running higher than spec, changed the oil yesterday too. and my dad says its just the balance shafts out of time. ok, but what would cause that to happen without it just unthreading or snapping the left-hand bolt on the balance shaft sprocket? ive got about 1200 miles on the rebuild, same balance shafts tho. just new chain n guide n sprocket. and also, what problems could this cause? i hate the sound it makes, but if its not going to harm the engine i wont mess with it for a while. also at idle i noticed today that it surges just the tiniest bit which is annoying but is indicative of an unbalance (to me). and yes i do run the full range from 1000 to 6500 rpm... stupid yes but its how i drive half the time especially w the cam swap...
