Got a Lifter Tick/Knock, Anyone know a way to get rid of it?


Recommended Posts

I have a lifter tick/knock some people say tick some say knock, but either way i was told to put some flluid in the oil that i cant remember the name of right now in it drive a good 40 miles and drain the oil and do an oil change. Anyone know anymore info on how to cure this problem? Last thing i would want is to screw up the cam etc.

if i was you i would do the oil change asap and drive it for a few miles if it still clicks then u will know its not your oil...also maybe your pulley? my dads f-150 we thought it was the oil and his pulley was gone kind of a rare problem but replaced that and it was good to go it can really be anything but its better to check and cross the simple things off
