they are differant parts #'s

Lifters are TOTALLY different. I highly doubt your tick is lifters. My old engine before it blew had 150k on it and didnt tick. My "new" engine is up to about 90k and does not tick. You are probably hearing your injectors pulsing.

well... i believe it is the lifters because when the car is cold it will do it and then when you rev it ticks faster... and then once the car is warm and i start driving it goes away... and it fits all the lifter tick descripitions i have read...

I would like to start a movement. This movement is going to be called the "we don't have lifters" movement. Or the "Why does everyone call them lifters" moment.

I actually don't care, just felt like bitching a little there

true, they are "lash adjusters" but We're oLd SkooL :P

well then let me rephrase it.. the lash adjusters

na, I don't actually care, and I will continue to call them lifters myself. Its just easier / shorter

How do you tell the difference between lifter tick and injector tick?

i can't tell what the sound is, but times when i'm idling, it sounds like a soft rapid knocking noise, lick someone tapping their fingers fast on glass. (not finger nails, its a dull sound) what am i experiencing?

you all just confused me with the difference now.
