Harry, I would make sure your running the correct weight oil 20/40 or 20/50 and the correct filter. I noticed the same ticking on my car 10/30 oil. Also make sure you have ample oil pressure.

Even though I dont drive my car around all that much, it was in stellar shape when I bought it about a year ago. It was even better after the mammoth overhaul PJ Grady performed. My window motors went bad, but that is to be expected, the only thing that concerns me though is what I might be mistaking as valve train noise. In idle or in motion I guess, I hear a clicking or ticking that I would normally think might be rocker arm noise. By normally I mean by chevy small block standards. I'm not sure what it might be, for all intents and purposes the car has a clean bill of health with less than 500 miles on it. It runs great, starts great and I havent noticed any sluggishness or unwillingness to accelerate. Any thoughts as to what it might be? thanks guys Harry Vin #2696 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
