Default Lifters making noise?



So if you've ever heard an old bronco or a big old 80s caddy go buy you you'll know what I'm talking about. </P>


RPMs really make no difference, but the noise is especially present say at about 50mph in 5th. When I press on the pedal, I hear a ticking noise, like lifters or something. Just a rapid ticking noise, similar to that of the cars described earlier. Its definately in the internals of the engine, not sure exactly which piece. Any ideas? I really dont know how to describe it better, just a really rapid ticking noise that goes away over 3k revs, or I just can't hear it past then.</P>
