If you hear a little tapping/clicking noise in the engine while its idling/warming up, thats lift tick. Its very common, I have it...Im sure many people on here have it also. Now if the car is blowing blue smoke, I wouldnt purchase engine. I think blue means worn internals.(feel free to correct me if im wrong). I think white smoke could mean coolant problems. Just check for smoking and see if the engine runs some what smooth.
