LIFTER NOISE?
My friend has a boxter, I have a 964 so am not experienced with his car.
It is a 98 with 100k on the engine. He has a slight lifter noise sort of a tapping but it also makes a chirping or cricket sounding noise when cold and in the warm up phase.
The chirping noise and the lifter noise started at the same time. Jsut after a chip was installed.
Could anything else cause this? any experience out there with this?
Thanks

I get a little tapping when I have not driven the Boxster for a while. This should not be a big surprise. Lifters will tend to bleed down if a car sits a long time.Chirping? Of course I'm talking a long time too. My car is a 97 with 47k miles so it does sit alot. I have it on my list to drive it more!

Well the mechanics are confident the chirping and clicking noise is a lifter.. This car is a daily driver perfectly maintained. We shall see if it holds up another 3000 miles as we are leaving to North Carolina from Miami.
