Mine is loud inside, can hardly hear it outside. I took a co worker home the other day. He asked, "why does this sound like a diesel".

Oil wasn't bad at all but was from the previous owner and I dont have a clue what it was. I think it was cheap conventional to go along with the cheap generic filter.
Yeah I'm pretty familiar with the typical cold engine piston slap but I do have a noticeable noise at operating temp. How about any of the rest of the stuff? Cam and lifters common on this motor?

I have tried different oil filters, Lucas oil additive, Marvels, and I always run 91 with Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w30. Nothing I do makes any difference at all. Until the engine warms up, that damn tick is there. I did however notice with a K&N oil filter my oil pressure is more consistent.

Just an FYI, Napa oil filters are actually made by WIX filters. The oil pressure switches are known to be faulty also on these
