So recently I've been getting a ticking from under the hood, which goes away after a few minutes. I was thinking exhaust gasket leak somewhere? Or could it be internal? I sure hope not! Anyone else have this problem before?

Uuugh, that was in the back of my mind! I can't afford any more repairs right now!

Ran some seafoam but that's just a temp fix. So im looking at replacing lifters, what parts will I need for this/best place to get them/best brand etc. Upgrade if possible?

Why would it be a temp fix? It could have been a sticking lifter. Which once clean will be fine

Well, service engine light when on this morning.....not too excited about that! First time I've seen that since I've had the car.

Cyl 4 misfire is what the scan is showing.

How would I check the oil pressure? I don't have a gauge. I want to make sure its all getting oil.

I had the same problem. For me it was what is called dry start where oil isnt sitting in the top end. Go and get some lucas oil treatment. Will say on the jug prevents dry start. Buy a quart of that and then the rest regular oil you would use and change your oil. I did that and the next morning no more tic. Good luck

buy a oil pressure gauge of your choice, it installs in place of the stock sensor above the oil filter.Originally Posted by twol8uluz
easiest way i've found to get to it is to remove the pass side front wheel and reach into it.

Cool! Ill try that then first before I start freaking out n rippin my engine apart. Lol

Check your spark plugs, homie.

Update, threw some seafoam in and seems to have got rid of the ticking.....for now. Thanx! Ill give it an oil change soon and see what happens after that.
