Title: Damage ?
Post by: EMD on 06 September 2015, 23:31:53

Ive got a sticky tapping lifter even after 3 oil changes and 2 lots of lifter treatment  :(
Will it do any damage if i just leave it or would you get it sorted  :-\ Its not a loud noise its just a constant tick tick once the engines warmed up but its annoying  :(

Noisy lifter is on the drivers side .

I've done 4 thousand miles but no issues other than that
damn ticking noise , don't seem to be getting any louder  :-\

I've done a few oil changes with 10/40 , wonder if a thicker oil would quiet it down  :-\

I've tried various oils still the same, just needs to be replaced. Need to convince a fatty admin for help on it, at its next Cambelt change  ;D

and replace  ::)
