hey guys.. hows it going... been a while huh? been VERY VERY busy with work. Plus some personal issues... but I digress... my camaro is sick and I need your help.
It started ticking pretty bad and I changed the oil. Ticking still there... did some troubleshooting and determined that one of the lifters was bad...ripped the intake and valve covers off and changed ALL the lifters. Looked at the lifters and
of the rollers is marred so I am not thinking there is an issue with the cam... put it ALL back together.. and TICK TICK TICK.... seems to be coming from the #3 cylinder but you know how that goes...
it doesn't do it ALL the time... only from about idle thru 1200 RPM and then it doesn't go ALL the way away but it definately isn't ticking as hard as it is when I first give it gas... I put some "gunk" into the oil to clean out the inside of the engine... *sigh* don't know if it fixed it because I have to leave town for a wedding today and the guy working on the engine is as lost about this as I am... he was 99% sure a lifter was bad....
ANY IDEAS?
thanks
