    Help: Weird ticking sound and white smoke (video)

    E36 dinan supercharger

    This sound only happen in two area when I drive over the weekend (on long drive) going uphill; and during daily driving the car drive normal with no issues.

    Any suggestions of the causes? Occurred at 28 sec into the video. Then the sound goes away and no smoke and the car runs normal again. WTF?

    Things I done so far is replace supercharger belt, new fuel pump, fuel filter, and MAF.

    Sound like a valve?

    are slow.
    Now that's weird.
    Do you feel any power loss when that happens?
    No I don't think it's a valve issue, that would be apparent at all times. The oil going uphill is pushed to the back of the pan, but the pickup on an S52 is in the back as well, so I doubt it's running dry.
    Going uphill makes me think you're putting a higher load on the motor than normal, could it be the fan hitting the shroud or something else hitting? Still unsure about the smoke.
    Are you sure the SC belt was the right length and the tensioner was on correctly?

    I didn't notice any power loss but when the sound happen I ease off the gas peddle

    Oil level seem low within 5k miles of the last oil changed; oil was cap off a few weeks ago and soon going to the shop again for more troubleshooting …

    SC belt was replace because this might fix the issue but it did not per video; belt came from DINAN directly; tensioner look good per mechanic.
