1996 eclipse 420a


well I bent some valves in my stock 420a at 201k miles. let it sit for 2 months. Well I made a deal and had a guy put a used motor 110k miles in well it had a blown headgasket. So he took the head off and took it to the machine shop and then now it runs good no power loss. But i have a small tick. He said it go away after a while it was something to do with oil under the lifters. Well its been 200 miles car still runs great but the tick is still their not louder or softer. Some one eles told me it wont go away. Any ideas its not to big of a deal I just dont like it.

Use synthetic oil, it will quiet down your lifters. Or you'll need to replace your lifters.

it could also be a lose lifter and might not have to replace it

changed out the lifter and rocker and fixed it wanted to close it up
