Your the go to guy!!👍🏾was just out doing my rebuild over cause it was making the wrong kind of music. Fresh build and very noisy valve's. Thank for the post it cleared up a lot I didn't understand.

Very interesting and helpful information.

and if that doesnt fix the problem simply grab the nearest tool next to you and start hitting the car as you give up for the day 🤣

Very valuable information 👌

Im so thankful for your knowledge

Thanks a lot I really needed this

Well spoken thank you

Didn’t hear the noise until I removed 2 quarts of oil from my engine (previous owner overfilled it) I got it to the right amount and started the car and now I hear it

Great stuff

Hi car Ford bmax 1.5 diesel sounds good but wen it gets warm it sounds tappety even wen u rev it I’ve changed the oil and even put thicker oil in it stil the same wen it’s warm tappety ok wen it’s cold

I need your help sir. My venza 2011 makes this noise.

Also my car Ford b max 1.5 diesel if I leave the car overnight or park it up for 30 mins or so wen I rev it few puffs of blue smoke comes out of the exhaust clears in few mins and the turbo has a slight whistle

I have a ticking noise. Brought it to the shop and they said it is my Rocker Arm....is it worth getting it fixed? Can it be adjusted? 2011 honda pilot EX. U stated to check the oil pressure. If the oil pressure is off what should we do?

Cheers mate👍

I have a corsa lite 1.4i 2002. The crankshaft was faulty so the mechanic replaced the crankshaft from the bottom(took the engine the bay)now after putting everything back the car refuses to start, the mechanic says the lifters are dry so we must tow it and keep it in 4th gear and it will start....is this correct?

Does a hydraulic lift cause a engine reduce power on a 2012 Chevy impala

Does that seafoam stuff actually work?

Would u be able to tell if its the lifter just by hearing the engine ?

I have a Mitsubishi Pajero with 290,000 kms but well maintained with regular oil changes. I get this sound of what I am sure is hydraulic lifter sound only after off reading in hot sand dunes for about 2 hours. The sound increases or decrease with throttle, it only goes away by itself after I switch off the engine for about 15-2O minutes & never returns once vehicle is back on tar road for thousands of kilometres or a year until I go back to the sand and it appears again. The sound is very loud like tak tak tak metal sound. I took the car to the dealership and discussed with many technicians and even did engine flushing but nothing seems to be helping. Pl advice

What about adjustable lifters?

what about Marvel Mystery Oil ? i have seen a lot of feedbacks

My vehicle got flooded with water. I changed spark plugs, oil and filter, air filter and the oil sending unit. I still have a tap in my lifters. Just cylinder 1. 01 town and country 3.8l. trying to fixing without doing a top end rebuild

i hear a lifter noise on my vr6 12 valve engine with only 85,000 miles .

I had a bad hydraulic lifter on cylinder 2, Jeep v8 engine, got it replaced and now the engine sounds terrible. The mechanic said my engine is bad for leaving like that for too long. I’m s that a possibility?

Hey, is it possible my lifters are super noisy on starup, them after 3 minutes, barely can hear them? No engine light, no codes stored in the ecu

Hello, I have installed new lifters but still have noise but only on idle and when engine is warm .any ideas? Fyi the engine (2.0 tfsi ea888.1)have been rebuilded . Thank you

Exactly what my vehicle sounds like:(

✅💯

Have a tapping noise when i first start the car in the morning. But after a minute or two it goes away.

My truck has a ticking sound that randomly starts and goes at some point when im driving, but it doesn't last longer than maybe 10 for 30 seconds. However this only occurs a few times a month.

My mitsubishi started making this noise after the timing belt broke 💔 But the baby still runs and is at 208k miles worst case scenario engine swap in 2024 . Old cars are just much better . 2010 galant ✨️⚡️

I would also add if you got a big cooalnt leak, the temp senslr wont read the real temperatjre since theres no water to read, When engine starts heating the oil will thin out, and youl get loud valves clatter.

Issue = Tapping noise on cold start > once warm its hardly noticable > soon as you get to 2000rpm, it makes a really annoying clicking tapping noise. if im idle and rev to 2000rpm, cant hear it. if im going 20mpg for example, and engine brake, cant hear it. but soon as you slightly touch the accelrator , you can hear it

All the cars with hydraulic lifters are rubbish i own a 1972 datsun 1200 deluxe i never had problem with tappets and my datsun tappets i can adjust i bought a 1992 bmw E36 318i M40 my lifts made a lot of noise i changed my bmw lifters brand new lifters making the same noise
