Subarule Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'd urge you to try the least expensive approach first: run some Marvel Mystery Oil through a couple of tanks of gas first, see if that reduces or makes the ticking noise go away. Just go by the directions on the MMO container. It worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 i agree with "subarule" i used marvels in my crankcase engine oil, 1/2 quart or so run the engine till its warm, like 10 miles or so, than change the oil and filter... the lifter tick usally happens to my loyal ea82 engines if i short start them.. ie like driving them a couple of miles to work. they build up condensation from not fully warming them up, thus creating sludge . a good long run and they quiet down..
