I've had what i think to be a terrible lifter tick in my 7a since I bought the car, unfortunetaly for me when i bought it i wasnt old enough to drive and i could only drive it back and forth in the ladies driveway to make sure it ran. When i drove it back and forth in her driveway the engine was cold as ice, it was fall and the lady hadn't run the car in quite some time (i know now why). The temperature of the engine being so cold for some reason masked the fact that the engine sounds like total ****. So after searching the threads for the most possible reason as to my horrible sound i diagnosed it as a lifter tick. I confirmed it with my dad who said it doesnt sound like a knock, and it was probably the lifter tap i spoke of.
Im now in search of a cure but in dismay. I really need help with this too, it sounds like crap. Basically the only thing i can tell you is it sounds fine when it starts up cold, and it never goes away when its warm, at any rpm or throttle level. Anyone have this problem too? and how did you fix it? Or how WOULD you fix it, i really need help. Thankyou |

Lucas oil stabilizer is like gorilla snot! Thick as all hell, but really great for the top end and proper start-up lubication.
