I cleaned my lifters and used a can of Mopar combustion chamber cleaner but there is still a small tick when under load and idling in my engine. Anything else I can try or should I think about replacing lifters.
About 60000 miles on the car. But it is a 1990.

Thanks
 
What does is sound like...where is it coming from?
Maybe you should think about giving us some more info next time and your question will be much easier to answer.
 
Sounds like one of cylinder four exhaust lifters are ticking still. Tough one to describe (and answer). Could it be some tick from the valves themselves? Not sure what else to try. Not sure what else to describe either.
THanks
 
could be lifters, could be pinging, could be yoru CAS malfunctioning....etc
Hard to describe and hard to answer= one screwy situation....
 
You're mention of the CAS got me checking more and sometimes it is the simple stuff. Small crack in porcelion on the cylinder four spark plug GRRR! :)
No more tick. Thanks a bunch! This forum rocks. Even for newbies like me.
