sooo i just got this 98 mustang gt with the 4.6 3 days agoand when i was driveing it home it start to make a ticking sound. sounds like a lose rocker but i check all of them to day and my friend says it could be a bad lifter could that be true??I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS ITS KILLING ME I JUST GOT THE CAR.

 

Might be a lifter seal. Try adding some Luke Oil from a auto parts place. Its worth a shot,

 

really i will give that a try thanks for the help

 

Please explain what is a lifter seal?



I've seen exhaust manifold/header leaks sound like lifters.
