Alright so sometimes when i start my car up i hear this loud clicking noise from the driver side of the engine. It gets louder and faster when i rev the engine a little. It does go away after a little bit of driving, but it doesn't go away when i just leave it idle in my driveway. I waited 10 minutes for it to go away and it never did. My first guess was a bad rod ,but then it does go away so i don't. Then i thought the oil pump it messed up or i need a upgraded one but i don't have and huge mods.
This has been happen for a couple months now but it know getting louder and happening more then it use to. So what do you guys think it is??? I did add a oil catch to the PCV and then did seafoam about 4 times.

 

have you drained the catch can?

 

Lifter maybe? How many miles do you have on it?

 

i actually drained it friday. roughly 135000miles, can someone explain why it goes away though. and i forgot to say that was another thing i thought it was.

 

Sometimes with sticky lifters, they need the engine to run for a little bit to get the oil circulating around them good. Once they get oiled up, they quit making noise.

 

so should i get a better oil pump? its happening more and more now.

 

seafoam?

 

He's seafoamed it 4 times. Anymore wouldn't be advisable... lol. Take a mechanic's stethoscope or a long screwdriver next to your ear and place it on various locations on the valve covers and if you have the stethoscope, further down and around the engine. At least figure out precisely where the noise is coming from. It might even be an exhaust leak. It's next to impossible to diagnose something like this over the internet without hearing it in person. Figuring out exactly where it's coming from would help us know what it could be.

 

alright. next time it happens ill do that and then let ya guys know. and i did the seafoam 4 times in a span of 4 months haha

 

Ahhh. Mybad, I didn't read that part. I'll read the whole post next time. My car is making a click noise as well.
