well I ordered 16 new lifters to replace the one that was ticking pretty loud all the time.. I did the replacement following V-Faq to the T ( works very well) Problem is the ticking is still there.. I took the valve cover back off to check everything out and all the lifters seem to be primed I cannot push them down at all. I even tried the ATF trick and that didn't seem to help.....
at idle (900-1000) it is a steady tick
If I press the gas and hold it the tick goes away.
If I rev it up when it comes back down to around 1700 it will be a fast multiple click then go back to one at idle.
If i turn the A/C on and the rm goes in the 800 range the ticking quiets way down.
The sound seems to be coming from the #3-4 cylinder area. and its always there no better cold or hot.
could the cam angle sensor have something that may cause it to make noise?
Or what else could I try on the lifters?
I am pretty much 100% sure it isn;t a bent valve cuz it still runs fine and everything.
Any help with this would be appreciated... I am lost now!!
