What could cause the lifters on a 1987 Chevy Camaro to go out when the engine gets warm?
This is odd........usually lifters clatter or rattle when cold due to losing their oil pressure when the engine is turned off and they bleed down. They don't stop tapping until they build pressure back up. I would guess your oil pressure is higher at start up.......and your lifters are either holding some pressure but as the engine heats up, the oil thins out and the lifters do not hold their necessary pressure and start to make noise. Do you have an oil pressure gauge? You could try running a heavier viscosity oil and see if it quiets them down. Otherwise you may need to pull the intake manifold off and start looking at them. Wish I could help more.

What does a engine symbol mean on a vehicle?
ANSWER: It is the check engine light. It starts out a yellow meaning that there is some thing going on and have it looked at soon. If by chance the little engine light is red, this means do not drive your vehicle until you have it serviced. There are many things that could cause this to happen from fueling the vehicle with it running , a sensor not functining properly, or a major engine problem. It is not to be taken litely if it is red, you could severly damage the engine if you ignore it.

What makes an engine clatter?
If it is intermittent it could be your not putting the right octane gasoline in the engine. Normally this will make it ping under load. If it has a clatter from the top of the engine all of the time you probably need to adjust your lifters. This is normally not a problem for today's lifters. Also if the noise is from the bottom of the engine you probably have worn bearings. Hope this helps.
