before doing anything to the vehicle check your oil level and quality. try changing your oil and getting something with a higher viscosity (thicker) try a 20/50 . since the oil will be thicker it will act as a cushion between the lifters and the camshaft or lifter and the pushrods. if you don't want to change your oil just yet, there is an additive that i don't quite remember the name but is made by a company name LUCAS and well when i buy it i ask for engine lucas and they usually know what it is. this will help your oil lubricate better and quiet down those anoying lifters. (it does take a few miles for it to take effect) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ford shows SAE 5 W - 20 oil for the 2000 F150 4.2 L V6 engine ( 6 quarts with filter change )
Possibly the lifters?!?
The 4.3L would have 12 hydraulic lifters.
a lot of 3.1 engines do this, if it is not severe then it should be ok...
If it is noisy, leaking or not pumping sufficient coolant to cool the engine, replace it.
If the timing chain is noisy , otherwise if you are having the engine rebuilt
what are the torque specs for lifters on a 2000 Pontiac grand am gt
If you have a noisy timing chain you need to replace it.
It will cost approximately $400 to repair the lifters on your 2000 Toyota Camry. It can cost is much as $800 to repair the valves.
If you are getting unusually high or low ( or no ) pressure reading and the engine has not started to become very noisy on the top end then the switch may be going bad. If the low oil pressure reading is indicating an actual lack of oil pressure the engine will heat up quickly and become noisy, lifters and cams first then crank later. Dont push it to that have the unit checked right away to avoid costly repairs. Your vehicle is equipped with OBDII diagnostic computer so a oil light will trigger some kind of trouble code even if it does not prompt the check engine light so have the codes read as well.
