my 95 Falcon (V6 family sized car) is making a clicking noise from around the engine somewhere, it can be heard from inside the car.
The clicking noise also increases as the rpm increases.
I am thinking something to do with lifters maybe from what I have read, I dont know that much about cars so just hoping to get some advice before I take it to auto repairer.
If I need to add anymore info please tell thanks.

Sounds like excessive valve lash due to a hydraulic lifter not pumping up. If you go to a less viscous oil or put some lifter additive in your oil it may help.

Hey,
My XR6 did that until I changed from regular crap oil to Penrite HPR 10, which fixed the problem. It strangely stopped using oil after I changed to this too.
