Hydraulic lash adjusters, HLAs, are the best and worst feature of the KL series. Once they get contaminated with dirty oil, they dont do their job very well. As a result, they cause lash rather than adjust for it, giving you a nice rattle. Its expensive to fix (all work, no parts) and annoying to live with. You're getting sports car maintenance from a every man's car, unfortunately.

What causes intermittent valve ticking with power loss?
Hey Mart==Generally just one valve ticking wouldn't cause a power loss. It deoends on what kind of car and engine you have. It could be an injector ticking which would cause a dead miss. GoodluckJoe
Engine ticking like a sewing machine. Ticking stops when we unplugged cylinder 4 spark plug?
We purchased a 2001 Grand Prix 3.1 70000 miles. Dealership replaced lower intake gaskets due to slight seeping upon purchase. Did not appear to be a concern.. Shortly there after there is a ticking sound (like a sewing machine) coming from the engine. Loudest during idle and when engines cold. Much quieter and occasional when driving. Added sea foam to the oil, and did an oil change...no change. No fluid leaks, runs great. Local shop listened to it, and instantly said the engine was shot. Having a heard time grasping this. We decided to check the spark plugs. Ticking stopped when we unpulled the spark plug on cylinder 4, started again when replugged. Could it be anything other then a shot engine...like it said it runs perfect. Any ideas??

A 97 Maxima can have these symptoms because of a bad alternator. If the alternator has low output there can be a ticking and eventually the engine will stop running.

Engine temp is low 140 degrees and a ticking noise is coming from the upper part of the engine What is wrong?
"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.
What does a ticking sound which increases in frequency with increase in speed coming from the engine mean?
It sounds like the engine timing. The sound is coming from your engine valves. They're not in synch with the rest of your engine. It could also be that the valves are worn out. I'd check the timing first, then the seating on the valves.
Why is there a ticking noise on a range rover 1994?
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?
