ticking coming from engine
was up everybody.... On friday My motor started to tick and it is coming from under the valve cover and it's full of oil. Do you think it could be a roller rocker or a lifter? There is no noticeable power loss. Any suggestions?? oh by the way there are 89k miles on the engine, but the owner before me did nothing to it as far as maintenance. I bought the car w/77k and the engine had never been tuned up. Thanks in advance for the help!

Those are the two areas of concern. If the rockers are stock, then it is most likely a sticky lifter. Try some seafoam in the crankcase, let it run awhile and then change oil. I heard some good results about seafoam. It can be bought at autozone ($5.99)

I will check to see if all the wires are on there tightly. I am pretty sure that it is a lifter problem. If that is the case I can just replce the lifters correct? are there certain ones that would be reccomended? any that I can get to increase power?
