What does ticking with a burning smell mean?
this could indicate any one of numerous different problems...depending on the type of vehicle...lol if it happens when the engine is at idle then the Ticking could be a valve tapping,and the smell could be burning oil from a leaking valve cover...or the ticking could be from a water pump or powersteering pump with bad bearings and the smell could be anti-freeze leaking past the the seals of the water pump or past the seals of the powersteering pump and burning on the hot engine. if it only happens when you have the AC on then the Ticking could be from a worn AC clutch and the burning smell could be the AC/serpentine belt... For front wheel drive: If the ticking only happens when the vehicle is in motion then one of the CV joints on one of the drive shafts maybe bad and the smell could be fluid leaking from around the drive seal of the shaft.. If the ticking only happens when the wheels are in motion then it could also be a damaged break pad and the smell could be the break pad burning... the ticking could also becoming from the automatic transmission and the smell from leaking fluid.. depending on where the sound is located front or back? in the rear wheel drive vehicles the ticking could be coming from the rear gears in the pumkin and the smell from leaking axle seals/covers.. you should take the vehicle to a mechanic who can use his own ears and nose to track the problem down...other than that its just a shot in the dark on what the problem really is...

If lifters are ticking how do you repair?
If they are mechanical lifters, then there is an adjustment under the valve cover. If they are hydraulic then there is no adjustment, and while a different weight motor oil or special additive may help the ticking there is not real way to stop it.
