    here is a video link, details are in video description. Let me know if you need more details. Kh and i forgot to put on the video, it goes away ehen the car is warmed up, i tried 5w30 oil and it almost muffled it a little but then came back, it sounds to me like its coming from the s/c pulley but not for sure. thanks

    Sounds like a collapsed lifter to me. Try sea-foaming the engine, or run a quart of ATF in the oil for halfhour before changing the oil. ATF in the oil will NOT do any harm.

    Seafoam in the vac line wont help the lifter problem any, but it will clean up the internal top end components. Using it in the engine oil WILL however.

    I've ran seafoam before with no issues. Also fixed my lifter tick too. Good luck!

    Crappy should have it.

    Same with Partsource.

    Also Napa.

    Try in that order because they're arranged from best price to worst.
