Message:
couple problems, I get a bigtime clicking noise on a cold crank, it goes away after a second or two. i think it may be a lifter thats not holding a charge.it did it for a while and quit, now its back. its a 93 v6 mag. but it only has 80,000 on it.i'm sure that dont mean much,i just like saying it.anybody else have or had this prob.also my top rad. hose sucks flat after it cools, could that be a bad cap, or the wrong cap?i did replace the cap and hose last year to no avail.maybe i need to get a oem cap.it dont seem to hurt anything but i could be wrong.

it could be the cap also check to be sure your
over flow hose to the recovery tank is not pluged
or pinched off.

The noise you are hearing could be the timing
chain the V6 is noted for rattling chains
