What can one do about the noise of the lifters?
How can I make sure that why are they creating such a noise..
its like, loud when started up in the morning.. gets quieter when the engine is at operating temp.. but doesn't go away.. depends on the RPMs of the engine.. the higher the RPM, the higher the frequency of the ticking.
I had a quick chat with the mechanic, he said he is not exactly sure.. and that it could also be because of a weak engine oil pump.. I'm going to the mechanic today so I should have some information at hand.. you know.. Need some ideas..
The head was rebuild a few thousand kilometers ago.. and it needed some new piston rings and things.. and valves..
I want to know so I don't get confused there and / or get ripped off
Also recommend solutions to overcome the problem, if there are any at all to make the noise go away. Except 'replacing the assembly etc etc' lol.
Thanks.
