Heya guys,
I Searched this topic earlier and took the steps from one thread by changing my oil, filter and using a Nulon additive. However the ticking has not ceased.
PROBLEM:
Loud ticking noise from engine. When car is at idle it is slower but still quite audible....at 1100rpm its nearly undetectable and revs any higher its fast and loud.
Like i said i read previous threads and ppl thought it might be sticky hydraulic lifters. But after doing the change of oil etc etc there is still no change. The noise however sounds quite metallic. I have just had a bottom end forged rebuild done so bigends can be ruled out as my mechanic has said.
Any ideas at all?
Sounds like a collapsed lifter?
Some help would be greatly appreciated.
Sam
