 Subject: Lifter ticking

Message:
Any cheap soloutions for stopping this tick tick noise other than changing lifters. Its not the manifold, gaskets or bolts because i changed them all and its not the timing chain or injectors. As soon as i change oil it goes away then 1 to 2 weeks later its back and it happens at operating temp and cold temp. Its a 1998 318 Dakota 4x4 Any help would be great thanks. Running moble 1 syn and a Wix filter

Go to a auto parts store and look for oil additives. There are a couple different brands that you could try (Risoline is the only name I can think of). Their purpose is to break down any large deposits of oil that could be causing the lifter to stick. Thats the only cheap solution that I can think of.

valve lash on a 318 dodge?
First thing I would do is run some regular Mobil1 or Mopar oil. I've seen some different things happen with Mobil1 synthetic. Had a Camaro that aquired a lifter noise with synthetic oil. Try that. Then go for a lifter problem if it isn't solved.

Yes, valve lash. Non-adjustable valve trains are subject to wear, and then the lash increases. Now you have valve train noise. It's a simple thing to check, and often free to fix.

I agree with you on that. That'd be the first I heard of without something else being wrong. (on that engine series) CDAK, let us know what is up.

In the 60's we used transmission fluid. Slowly pour in the carb, keep the engine running.
