Lifter noise

[K9Gunner]

I have a little lifter noise on start up. It goes away when up to temp. Gonna try my hand at pulling the valve covers and carburetor cleaning down the rods. Wish me luck. It’s been a great vehicle. 276k miles and counting.

Are you sure it's not a broken exhaust manifold bolt? Sounds just like a lifter tick.

A loose spark plug also sounds like that.

I’ve checked both hoping it was one of the two.

This made me realize my truck has tick too... I'm gonna put some Marvel Mystery Oil in her and bring up my next oil change by half and hope that helps. I noticed some sludge in the oil pan when I replaced my gasket so I'm gonna assume the engine is dirty.

Well I finally found the fix to my lifter noise. It got progressively worse and I remembered someone on here saying try a new oil pump. So that’s what I did and there has not been any lifter noise in the last two weeks amd it has been cold, for NC anyway. I am very happy with the results

Good news. Was it OEM? Did you install it?

Honestly no clue on brand. My mechanic did the work. But I will find out what brand

What did it cost you and do you have 4WD?

I had several things down. High pressure oil pump installed. Water pump replaced. Belt replaced. Lower control arm replaced. And safety inspection. Total was $1390 I will look at receipt and get you exact on HPOP.
