videos of problem

[skylar]

Eh, i am posting yet another engine ticking problem, i have been doing little things for about a year to fix it. Now i am going to do anything i can.

Here is the video of the sound . You can hear the lifters a little louder towards the end.

My lifters noise gets worse the more i drive it. so if i start it up and rev it, the noise will not be that loud, it gets louder the more i drive.

I just want to make sure that this noise is the noise of my lifters. I am going to buy revised lifters in a couple days.

I took apart my engine yesterday, and cleaned out the lifters, but it is stilll making the same sound. I do'nt know if i cleaned them good enough though. Could it be the rocker rollers?

I can't really tell. I could only hear them at the end when you got closer. If you made another audio with you as close as you were at the end but slowly rev the engine up from idle it would be easier to tell.

It could be a balance shaft bearing. Rash of those lately.

check for loose things aroudn the valve cover, also check your oil.

what oil are oyu using, it may not be thick enough. sounds like a lifter or valvetrain noise to me. pop the valve cover and peak

I am using mobil one oil. I opened the valve cover,(that's very top cover, that opens up to all the lifters and rockers?), and there seems to be nothing wrong. I don't know what to look for. All lifters moved up and down fine.

I will get better sound later when i drive the car around more.
