Just got back from a 3 minute 3000RPM hold. Dunno if it did anything but looking forward to seeing how my car performs over the next couple of days. I have an M112 engine and when I did this, I got a stinky burning smell that's similar to the smell of a clutch that's been put under a lot of stress. Not sure if it's because of a failing gasket or not. Either way, thank you for making this video. It's helped to put some things into perspective.
Your the go to guy!!👍🏾was just out doing my rebuild over cause it was making the wrong kind of music. Fresh build and very noisy valve's. Thank for the post it cleared up a lot I didn't understand.
Didn’t hear the noise until I removed 2 quarts of oil from my engine (previous owner overfilled it) I got it to the right amount and started the car and now I hear it
I have a Mitsubishi Pajero with 290,000 kms but well maintained with regular oil changes. I get this sound of what I am sure is hydraulic lifter sound only after off reading in hot sand dunes for about 2 hours. The sound increases or decrease with throttle, it only goes away by itself after I switch off the engine for about 15-2O minutes & never returns once vehicle is back on tar road for thousands of kilometres or a year until I go back to the sand and it appears again. The sound is very loud like tak tak tak metal sound. I took the car to the dealership and discussed with many technicians and even did engine flushing but nothing seems to be helping. Pl advice
What oil viscosity are you using? If you're in a cold climate, they tend to recommend xW-30 oil for slightly better fuel economy and power if the ambient temperature is cool enough, but for more robust, general purpose all round protection for the largest range of temperature, xW-40 engine oil is better. Personally, I prefer viscosities such as 0W-40 and 5W-40.
I have a ticking noise. Brought it to the shop and they said it is my Rocker Arm....is it worth getting it fixed? Can it be adjusted? 2011 honda pilot EX. U stated to check the oil pressure. If the oil pressure is off what should we do?
Another important thing you didn't mention and might be worth doing (I love your vids) you mentioned you could have low oil levels and oil not getting to the lifters. I also think if your oil pick up is mostly blocked from sludge you also won't be getting enough oil to the lifters even when your oil level is full.
I have a corsa lite 1.4i 2002. The crankshaft was faulty so the mechanic replaced the crankshaft from the bottom(took the engine the bay)now after putting everything back the car refuses to start, the mechanic says the lifters are dry so we must tow it and keep it in 4th gear and it will start....is this correct?
My truck has a ticking sound that randomly starts and goes at some point when im driving, but it doesn't last longer than maybe 10 for 30 seconds. However this only occurs a few times a month.
@@jimbothegymbro7086 I use a 10-30w synth blend (manuel says to use 5-30w) and 1L of Lucas mile mileage, the engine is a V8 2006 gmc sierra 1500.

Hi car Ford bmax 1.5 diesel sounds good but wen it gets warm it sounds tappety even wen u rev it I’ve changed the oil and even put thicker oil in it stil the same wen it’s warm tappety ok wen it’s cold
Also my car Ford b max 1.5 diesel if I leave the car overnight or park it up for 30 mins or so wen I rev it few puffs of blue smoke comes out of the exhaust clears in few mins and the turbo has a slight whistle
I would also add if you got a big cooalnt leak, the temp senslr wont read the real temperatjre since theres no water to read, When engine starts heating the oil will thin out, and youl get loud valves clatter.
I had a bad hydraulic lifter on cylinder 2, Jeep v8 engine, got it replaced and now the engine sounds terrible. The mechanic said my engine is bad for leaving like that for too long. I’m s that a possibility?
My vehicle got flooded with water. I changed spark plugs, oil and filter, air filter and the oil sending unit. I still have a tap in my lifters. Just cylinder 1. 01 town and country 3.8l. trying to fixing without doing a top end rebuild
Hello, I have installed new lifters but still have noise but only on idle and when engine is warm .any ideas? Fyi the engine (2.0 tfsi ea888.1)have been rebuilded . Thank you
My mitsubishi started making this noise after the timing belt broke 💔 But the baby still runs and is at 208k miles worst case scenario engine swap in 2024 . Old cars are just much better . 2010 galant ✨️⚡️
Issue = Tapping noise on cold start > once warm its hardly noticable > soon as you get to 2000rpm, it makes a really annoying clicking tapping noise. if im idle and rev to 2000rpm, cant hear it. if im going 20mpg for example, and engine brake, cant hear it. but soon as you slightly touch the accelrator , you can hear it
Since it changes cold/hot you might be “lucky” that it’s a cracked exhaust manifold rather than engine component. Not a guarantee just food for thought
I have an issue with my engine, its a rover t16 turbo, (t series) it rattles as soon as it starts but quickly stops, and is fine until the engine gets hot, then It wil rattle when there is no load on the engine, while driving it or if i go faster or let tue engine break it wont make the noise, but as soon as i change gear or hold it ever so slightly while cruising it will rattle quite loud around 2rpm any one had this before?
All the cars with hydraulic lifters are rubbish i own a 1972 datsun 1200 deluxe i never had problem with tappets and my datsun tappets i can adjust i bought a 1992 bmw E36 318i M40 my lifts made a lot of noise i changed my bmw lifters brand new lifters making the same noise
and if that doesnt fix the problem simply grab the nearest tool next to you and start hitting the car as you give up for the day 🤣
It's a hit or miss
😂😂😂
😂
🤣🪓🔨🔨🔨🔨 i’m dealing with the noise right now I h

I'm unsure. I have the Montero
You may need a thicker fluid. Might get to hot and lose viscosity. Complete guess tho

My venza 2011 makes this noise.
Great stuff
what about Marvel Mystery Oil ? i have seen a lot of feedbacks
I just tried it a couple weeks ago and didn't help my ticking. But seen a couple videos where it did help others
That’s something that does work but you need use it for awhile and continue to use it
Hey, is it possible my lifters are super noisy on starup, them after 3 minutes, barely can hear them? No engine light, no codes stored in the ecu

It's normal for hydraulic tappets.

Would u be able to tell if its the lifter just by hearing the engine ?
Cheers mate👍
What about if it's a slight tick but quits when Im driving. It does it mostly when setting.

your oil could be affecting it, do you do the changes yourself and if so what oil do you use and what engine are you puttting it in

My 2001 acura integra is ticking bad it is on my page please help. It doesnt tick at all on cold but as soon as it warms up it ticks bad
did you maybe resolve that issue? and how?
@kresimirbrlas6768 no I haven't
What about adjustable lifters?
I would also add if you got a big cooalnt leak, the temp senslr wont read the real temperatjre since theres no water to read,
When engine starts heating the oil will thin out, and youl get loud valves clatter.

No. A noisy lifter isn't going to destroy the block. Mechanic sounds lazy and doesn't want to find the issue.
My vehicle got flooded with water. I changed spark plugs, oil and filter, air filter and the oil sending unit. I still have a tap in my lifters. Just cylinder 1. 01 town and country 3.8l. trying to fixing without doing a top end rebuild
If the noise started after vehicle got flooded and if you got water in the engine then you might have a bent valve, rod knock or worse
Does a hydraulic lift cause a engine reduce power on a 2012 Chevy impala
Yes it does I'm experiencing that myself
Hello,
I have installed new lifters but still have noise but only on idle and when engine is warm .any ideas?
Fyi the engine (2.0 tfsi ea888.1)have been rebuilded .
Thank you
Did you check camshaft? There is a tolerance, they are not gonna be 100% quiet on some engines. On my 1.9 tdi they are noisy even when they are new
My mitsubishi started making this noise after the timing belt broke 💔
But the baby still runs and is at 208k miles worst case scenario engine swap in 2024 .

When you rev it does the noise get louder
Tithe sound increases in speed with the rpm increase.
Have a tapping noise when i first start the car in the morning. But after a minute or two it goes away.
Sounds like lifters. After oil circulates to the head it goes away
Exactly what my vehicle sounds like:(
