Re: Car making tapping noise

Sounds like your having a common case of lifter tick. Not a big deal, just annoying really. Being that your oil pressure is lowering, ( I am guessing your going by the stock guage, which isn't all that accurate) it makes the situation worse since there is a slight starvation of oil there to begin with.

The fix for this is to purchase 3rd revision lifters. You should be able to get them for 150 bucks or so.
