Kind of hard to tell where the ticking is coming from. I don't leave it running at idle--so it's hard to tell. I doubt the pick up is clogged, as oil did squirt out of the oil pressure sensor hole with the sensor removed. Also there was very, very little debris on the pick up screen.
But that’s on the top, not the bottom..

Everyone makes a valid point. If the bottom is clogged, it would just keep cycling the same oil and add a bad oil pressure sensor in the mix and you’d never be able to tell what’s going on. Verify oil pressure first with a pressure gauge, use mechanics stethoscope or a long pice of metal pipe and property around the engine with your ear to it, to see where the noise is coming from.

ultimately, if it’s worth the investment, I’d say it’s worth a shot, if not, carry on soldier

Got another one. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow. My buddy is gonna do this one, but he's not gonna be able to mess with it for another 2-3 months. That's fine with me, as it'll let me get some $$ together--as I blew my ***--again--on this one. Thx guys :waytogo:20200210_175348.jpg
EDIT--I'm thanking you guys for helping me get to where I'm at. Without you guys I'd be up ***** creek without a paddle lol!

Also, this says 2006, but the Carfax you posted says 2003.
