Tick Tick Tick Tick Problem Help
This annoying problem just started...
When I start the car I hear tick tick tick with idling, when I rev the engine the TICK TICK TICK increases with rev... Sometimes the tick tick tick stops... But it will kick back in... This is an annoying noise coming from under my hood... Could it be the spark plugs? anyone have any problem like this?

Re: Tick Tick Tick Tick Problem Help
lifter tick.
to make sure it's not rod knock, unplug one spark plug one at a time while it's running, if the sound goes away, that cylinder has a big problem 95% sure it's lifter tick though, completely normal, fixable by replacing with 2g lifters, or just ignore it.

Re: Tick Tick Tick Tick Problem Help
I hear lifter tick is like a higher pitched click while rod knock is a lower ping kinda sound. Lifter tick is horribly common, nothing serious.

Re: Tick Tick Tick Tick Problem Help
yeah rod knock doesn't really sound anything like lifter tick. Rod knock would sound more like a bang than a tick.

Re: Tick Tick Tick Tick Problem Help
Ok, Ok but my question is what is the part its self, the lifter? Where do I obtain the part? How hard is it to fix?
It is a light tick sound and not a clank I doubt its anything serious. Its just really annoying...

Re: Tick Tick Tick Tick Problem Help
Rod knock will sound more like someone taking two boards and banging them together really fast.
