NOISY valve lifter(s) or rocker arm(s)
My 02 Olds Intrique has been displaying signs of either a noisy lifter (s) or perhaps a worn rocker arm. I bought the car used back in late Feb '04 and noticed the sound shortly after. The noise was less noticable during the summer and fall due to warm temps. however now that the winter weather (COLD) has arrived its really clattering at start up . I suspect that its a lifter thats not holding its oil pressure and leaking down, or maybe a worn or faulty rocker arm . I heard that the rockers are Alum.. and could be the cause. the key here is temp as things metal will expand and contract.
My question is > Has anybody experienced similiar problems with there
Olds Intrique in reguards to noisy lifters on cold startups, and if so , were they able to get it fixed under warranty from there GM dealer.
