1998 Blazer noise at startupEric688 10-24-2004, 11:06 PM I have a 1998 Blazer, 4.3 engine. When I start it, it has an excessive valve train noise for 2-3 minutes and then goes away when engine is warm. I changed the oil, 5w30, and it continues. I believe the noise is from the oil not reaching the top of the motor. Motor has good oil pressure. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? BlazerLT 10-25-2004, 02:57 PM Are you using a Fram oil filter? Eric688 10-25-2004, 10:23 PM Yes, I did. BlazerLT 10-25-2004, 11:16 PM And there lies your problem. Orange Fram filter are horrible oil filters that have very poor antidrainback valves and cause the valvetrain noise you hear. Use only: ACDelco WIX Purolator Napa Gold K&N Never the orange can of doom. Piss poor piece of fucking trash. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
