98 Chevy new 383 block 30k, ticking noise from sounds like heads . 210k on heads;
Collapsed hydraulic lifter? - try a quart of mystery oil
i was told by a Chevy serviceman that the ticking noise was coming from the fuel injectors firing.but to me it sounded more like lifters tapping or floating.
from which part of your engine is the ticking noise coming from. if is the TOP it would most likely be lifter noise.try using a thicker oil.
harmonic balance maybe bad
Well if its sort of like a scratchy noise coming from the engine you might want to get your transmission checked out
Bearing noise is usually deeper and comes from farther down in the engine. Lifter noise is more of a ticking and is up in the engine heads.
Possible lifters that are bad that could explain your ticking noise. It should cost you nothing by stopping by an Auto repair shop and have them listen to your engine.
If its coming from your engine, you may need a valve adjustment..
"Engine temp is low 140 degrees" Bad Thermostat (stuck open) "a ticking noise is coming from the upper part of the engine" Lifters Make a ticking noise, To stop that there are these bags that fill with oil. If you run low on oil the bags don't inflate at you get a clicking. Check you oil level!!! The bags could be bad, the oil supply could be clogged, or something else could be wrong.
The fuel injectors make the ticking noise you hear at startup, especially when the engine is cold (colder temperatures).
What causes ticking, check engine light, and the check gauges sensor to come on in a 1999 Dodge Durango 5.2L SUV?
Before I can answer that question, can you describe where the ticking noise is coming from? Front of the vehicle? Rear? Engine? Is it coming from your Wheels? If its coming from the front of the vehicle you might require an oil change. If its coming from the rear of the vehicle it could be your axle. If its coming from your wheels it could be either wheel bearings or a backing plate for your brakes. Does it happen at regular intervals? Are they random and sporadic?
