Hi,

 

can anyone help me, I have a ticking from the top end of my engine can anyone help me with ideas?

 

Cheers

when does it happen? when u first turn on the engine? if so for how long? U must give more details

 

Anyway sounds like a stuck tappet, so make sure you change ur oil frequently, apparently puttinga little ATF (i think it was ATF might be something else) in with the oil helps this a lot. Also different ppl have different opinions on what oil is best, but im on the fence cos i now nothing about it.

 

Anyway u better be grateful this is my first ever bit of tech help ive given on here lol

it could just be lifters, does it go away when you have had a decent run and come back to idle.

 

dont start putting funny additives in your engine they just make a lot of muck in the bottem end.

 

if its just ticking it could be your oil.

no major problem
