USEFUL USEFUL INFO. I have a 2008 Ford Focus that was clicking like the video. NOT Anymore. THank You Thank you so SO SOOO MUCH! God bless you sir in all that you do.
Thank you for the before and after at the end of the video. That really helps hear the difference!
One hell of a trick… it sure worked me just now. Thanks my guy.
Thanks so much for explaining all this. I’m teaching myself mechanicery because I’ve learn the hard way that most people that try to help don’t know what they’re talking about or they don’t know how to describe what they’re talking about properly for your situation. They just say whatever they think and that’s it and it’s more confusing… They can’t go get the stuff from the auto store and you’ll be great… And then you get to the auto store and there is a whole Narnia wall of all the products made by all the people and all the things but it doesn’t exactly explain what you really need and is very confusing. You’re not going to read every freaking label so for me trying to go with experience or known information from others and what actually works and a good explanation is amazing. And you have done that here today… thanks bro 😊
Sometimes the issue with lifter noise is that dirt is binding up a hydraulic lifter. This happens when people neglect oil changes and carbon Sludge gets into the lifter. Hydraulic lifters work like Squirt gun shooting oil through the center of the pushrod to lubricate the rocker arm while cushioning reaction on the movement of the cam. There is a great video done by (project farm) where he puts sea foam into the engine oil of a old Ford ranger with a very loud lifters. After a few minutes it’s noticeably quieter. This is because the Sea foam is it detergent. He added 1 ounce of seafoam for every quart of oil. Also another way to quiet lifters is to replace 1 quart of engine oil with transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is essentially oil with lots of detergent. What you are doing is adding thicker oil to your engine which will help with oil pressure but can have the effect of causing more sludge. I would do things differently. I would change your oil and use sea foam or transmission fluid and drive the car with the noisy lifters for 100 or 200 miles. Then change the oil again using products that you demonstrated. By cleaning out the crank case and all the components first you mitigate the possibility of sludging up your engine. You never want to add these products that are thicker than the recommended oil if your engine has variable valve timing. There are small passages that use oil pressure to control the valve timing. If you gum up with these passages you’ll screw things up really bad.
I have a 2012 town and country, I just took my van for oil change at Walmart and now it is ticking always and when I hit the gas even faster ticking. I now have oil all over the bottom of my motor. I have never had issues with this van and the only time I decided to just save time and do food shopping and get the oil changed my van gets all messed up and lied on my receipt of my tire pressure and said they couldn't fill washer fluid because the holder was broken. It isn't broken and I filled it as soon as I got home. Can I use sea foam in my van
Also I found Walmart sucks the oil out the top and now threw the bottom and that makes all the dirt stay in the bottom of the oil pan . It says they used 5/30 high mileage oil in my van
@@dreamtoreality9892 It would be worth a try. Put 1 ounce of seafoam for every quart of oil that your engine uses. Probably about 5 ounces of sea foam in the engine oil. If it works it’s a cheap fix. Otherwise you might just have a collapsed lifter that will need to be replaced. Hopefully this can be done without removing the heads. Most engines the lifters can be replaced by removing the intake manifold to access them. It’s a labor intensive job.
Sometimes the ticking and sucking of air or pushing in most cases comes from exhaust manifold
Anyone know what the european equivalent to this would be? Lots of Liqui Moly over here. Do they have a seafoam like product? Seriously I could just put in some dexron III? I've got a half bottle left after changing my steering fluid.
Omg! We have a Chevy Tahoe and have been having the same noise for about 2 weeks now.. we got sooo much wrong advice. Everyone that heard it gave the wrong issue, we heard every and all diagnosis you can think of. Tried this and voila! The noise was so annoying and embarrassing around people. Idk how my husband stumbled across this video but I thank God for you. You are a life saver! 👌🏾 How much do we owe you?? 😊
Awesome to hear it work. 👍
Was your Tahoe between 2015-2020 model by chance?
My 2009 Tahoe is doing the same.
This won't work on a 6.1 hemi...
@greggogola2130 Sorry so late, but it's a 2012
I just did it today on my 2012 equinox 2.4 F.F and it works great….thank you so much my wife was freaking out
Thanks for the video!
Great video !! After my honda Element reach 298k i had valve liftters noise .. after doing this , i tell you i see and hear the difference. Thank you !! Great video .. just reminder i did the same methods three times after three thousand miles..thx
Many modern engines have a low pressure/high volume oil pump. By putting high viscosity oil treatments in your engine oil, you risk burning up your oil pump and permanently damaging your engine. Whenever there is lifter noise, it's rarely an issue with your oil...it's due to lifter seal failure, poor adjustment, weakened springs etc. ~ I'd rather fix the root of the problem than risk ruining the rest of my engine.
05 Suburban I bought in 2012 for $9,995 with 98k on the clock. I'm at 283k now and I just tried this treatment... worked!
So, my reasoning is, I've gotten great use out of this engine... if it needs replaced or rebuilt because of this, I'll eat the cost.
It's been trouble free, except for lifter rattle.
@@Brian-mp2mvit's really not that hard to address the lifter problem yo honestly save yourself time and money if you just address the lifter problem rather than having to constantly add all these additives to your engine especially since nowadays vehicles are so expensive especially used vehicles that 160,000 miles on an engine is considered low mileage nowadays which is insane so you may want to keep that 243,000 mile engine going for as long as you can. For what you spend an additives over the course of a year is what you'd spend on just fixing the problem especially if you drive a lot whether it be for work or whatever where you're putting on 20,000 Mi miles a year, because at that rate you're doing a lot of oil changes within a year
This did work for me. Given me time to get my motor repaired.
Thanks for the feedback
This actually does work I had a Toyota Camry 99 and I bought it at 170k it had a knock and would add the Lucas when doing a oil change and the ticking stopped the guy I sold the car to 8 yrs later still has the same car 420k miles.
My old Ford Fairmont station wagon with the hydraulic lifters got to the point where we’d get a sticky lifter usually about oil change time. I used good oil and knew that was not the issue and neither was the oil level. An old Ford mechanic told me to dump a quart of Ford ATF in the engine and run it for a few miles before the oil change, and it would act as a detergent and clean out the lifters. It truly worked as he said. So keep that in mind.
That is true
my au has the same little tick noise, how do you reckon i should go about fixing it? :D
@@chanuda4824 try liquid Molly
@@marcocaravantes422 i drained it and refilled with 5w40, thing is quiet and only light ticks at about quarter throttle at 1.5k rpm
@@marcocaravantes422 doing some reading up on Molly and think I'm going to use it . I never heard about this oil before.
This seemed to do the trick for me. thank you very much. I mentioned to my mechanic that it started ticking after my last oil change and of course they were willing to charge me 3000 to replace the lifters when in actuality they probably cause the problem by not putting enough oil in. will never go back to them.
while products like Lucas Oil Stabilizer can offer temporary relief for certain symptoms like noisy lifters, they are not a panacea and should be used cautiously, considering the potential downsides of altering the carefully balanced formulation of modern motor oils. it might be better to just buy a higher quality oil or increase the viscosity ie 5w-30 to 10w-30 if you're in a warmer climate.
When you add an oil stabilizer, it can dilute the concentration of critical additives in the original oil formulation, such as detergents, anti-wear agents like zinc or ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate), and dispersants. ZDDP is particularly crucial for protecting engine components such as camshafts, lifters, and other valvetrain components in high-pressure environments.
excellent! ill try my other vehicle- and include the stop leak............. i did have good success w 2 qts of the stabilizer.
Thank u kindly for all these videos God bless I'm single mom with health iuess
I have this same sound right now, it was a trainwreck the van had low oil and low antifreeze, it’s already quieter now but sounds just like this so I’m going to change the oil one last time like this and give an update! Fingers crossed!
Same here hope we both be Successful 🤞🏼🙏🏽🤞🏼
How’d it work out for you man? Curious about that update… I have a vehicle with similar issues you speak of.
Appreciate you and other mechanics who share your knowledge, thank you for the post
Nice video, what if you have already gotten a oil change. When can you add these and how much to add in a 2011 Chevy traverse?
I ran that junk in my 2009 chevy with the 5.3 with the famous lifter tick and it made it worse so after several other additives with no luck i went the other way with thinner oil, 0W20 made the tick go away and made the motor a lot smoother and quieter.
yes this stuff about the right oil for ticking noise is so confusing... example my 1990 XJ Cherokee In line 6 is WELL known to be a noisy engine, for many years I used 20W 50 and 10W 30, I live down in south Texas so it always HOT down here, even used the Lucas mixed with the 20W 50 and made it worst but one day just to see what happen used 5W 20 and the crazy in line 6 is quiet like a brand new car!! I've been using 5W 20 for 2 years ago with NO problems at all... I could not believe it, more than 15 years using 10W 30 in winter and 20W50 in summer, now only 5W20 all year
With that oil weight you probably have low oil pressure at idle
I had his very similar situation where was very loud and I took your advice and drove it for about five or 10 minutes and completely silence my vehicle really appreciate it thank you
Awesome, glad it helped
Did you have loss of power also
How many miles on your car? Mine has 235k.
@joev.7909 mine has 132k.... always changed the oil every 3k miles since I got it at 125k..... so I'm curious on wtf the previous owner did and didn't do
Very well done and profesional video thanks
very informative Andy! thank you.
You’re welcome
My 03 Tahoe has been doing this. I'm going to try this out so I can save up some money to change them out.
Several years ago, my 2002 Chevy truck had a loud lifter ticking noise. I checked the oil and it was a quart low. I added a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase, and soon the lifter ticking noise disappeared, but not nearly as fast as the Kia in this video. I drove the truck about 400 miles and when I changed the oil, it was extremely dirty, telling me that the MMO had removed some or all of the sludge out of the engine.
Now after a oil change and it is a quart low on oil, I add a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase for preventative maintenance.
I have also been using Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas of my truck, car, and lawn mower at every fill up since 2016. I use the recommended amount of 4 ounces of MMO for every 10 gallons of gas. Both vehicles and the lawn mower are running better than ever, and my car gets at least an extra 1.5 to 2 more miles per gallon on the highway. With Walmart selling the quart size (32oz) bottle of MMO for $5.97 here in the USA, it more than pays for itself with the savings in using less gas.
Thanks for the comment
You added the marvel mystery oil to the engine?
@ tisbitae7-- To quiet the lifter ticking noise, I added Marvel Mystery Oil to the oil in the engine. You can add MMO up to 20% of your engine oil capacity. For example, if your engine takes 5 quarts of oil, you can replace one quart of oil for one quart of MMO.
You don't want to over fill your engine with the combination of MMO and oil.

2005 Suburban 5.3L with 283k on the clock... Lifters rattling the last 6-8 months.
Tried the Lucas Treatment tonight, except when it was a quart low, I added a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil to bring it back up to full... ran it a couple days, intermittently.
Lifters REALLY rattled then!
5.3L in the Suburban holds 6 quarts oil.
I added:
1 quart Lucas Oil Stop Leak
3 quarts Lucas Oil Stabilizer
2 quarts Castrol 5w20 High Mileage Oil
Lifters rattled a good 10 minutes after initial startup... pulled it off the rack, let it idle while I cleaned up my mess, and went for test drive.
*Could not make the thing rattle!*
Was thinking reducing the stabilizer to 2 quarts and increasing the oil 1 quart at next oil change... maybe, maybe not... the stabilizer is within a dolar of the price of oil.
@@Brian-mp2mvdid it blow up yet
We always put a quart or two of diesel and have engine warm when you do this just let I idle for a hour and watch your oil pressure gauge to make sure it does not get too low and shut motor down and drain your oil and pour a gallon of diesel just to flush any sludge out and then pour a couple quarts of cheap oil to help fish diesel fuel out and this on 390 ford pickup and the motor was ran with penzoil that had a problem of foaming up and sludge on valve train area and I always use vavoline because it never foamed up and this was back in the 70’s and 80’s but worked great to clean the inside of the engine out and lifters out .
I am now relieved, my plan is to get a 320i was afraid of such problem at first.
The best product I have ever found to fix noise, leaks and even transmission problems is STP. To fix a transmission, ant transmission it must be put in and allowed to circulate with the engine running and the transmission warm. This is STP in the blue can for engines. It’s the best thing on the market.
I appreciate the STP suggestion and I'm all prepared to go the Lucas route if STP doesn't do the trick. The greatest benefit is that STP is a small bottle that's easy to add to existing oil without having to drain some or do an entire oil change. STP quieted the engine after about 10 minutes of driving. Although it's still slightly ticking, it's much better than it was before and I'm happy with the results. Thanks.
Did that make ur engine quieter or u had to change ur valve lifters ??
@@tsytv108 in his comment he said it fixed the noise…
Thanks! I’m going to go get the products and follow your formula. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I have 68 Pontiac with 180,000 miles in. Developed a "tick", gonna try your Lucas trick. Thanks for the video!
Did it work
Hows the results?
@@life0fkobe69 ,looks like it worked! If it didn’t work… he will complain in this chat! 😂
@@gluckystrong3336 ion even have the car nomo 😂
hi. thnc for the video . do i used some "hydraulic lifter" additive, and did nont seen any change . on my yaris . i will trie your method, and get back , whit a new imput , since i wold hate to brake down the lifters block head, to regulate them properly.thnx again
Thanks it really helped
One good thing that you can do before adding all that goop is clean out the passages with WD40. Two cap fulls from a Tide detergent bottle will do the trick. I do this in my 2008 F250 that has the Dreaded 5.4 Three valve and the system - being the hydrophilic lash adjusters that start to collapse become unstuck and get restored and the engine is back to near normal. Now I cant know how much wear has been done before I got the truck But the clean out has greatly improved the engine and the ticking has subsided. Varnish is the cause in my case and I've found that WD40 will work with the oil as long as you don't go to thin on a old engine that has 228000 KM like mine has.
@lawrencecavens576 I have that engine in my F-150. It's so loud people think I have a diesel under the hood. I replaced the Cam Phasers, and then I had to take it to a shop and have the engine opened up and replaced something. I don't remember what that was exactly; something to do with the timing. I remember It was $1900. lol. When you say 2 cap fulls from a Tide detergent bottle, what size of bottle are you talking about? There are different sizes. I don't imagine you are talking about the largemouth size. Also, are you adding that to new oil after an oil change, or are you just dumping it in the old oil before an oil change and continue driving on it until the following oil change? If it helped silence 40%, that would be great. It's so dang loud. Thanks!
Yep the Large mouth cap-fulls from the yellow tide bottle with the orangy red color caps. they hold about 2/3rds of a cup. I dump it in the old oil to help clean and also in with the new oil to help maintain, also while its running to dump some in once in a while to get it mixed in - I use 10W30 in the winter and straight weight 30 in the summer. and So far for three years it's works fine, Just don't go to thin on a worn engine if that's
your case you should be fine... @@jimwills2094
So, you're adding straight WD40 to an engine with the oil still in? Then draining it? Or are you adding it to an engine with the oil drained or to an engine where the oil has just been changed? Do you leave it in or drain it?
Im actually doing both, where WD40 is added to the oil before you drain it and run it along with the old oil - drain and refill. Add two cap fulls and allow it to with your new oil - {but} If the loud clattering doesn't go away with the new refill then this means you may have damage starting already so bear this in mind. I caught mind before it got too bad and the roller followers got ruined. There still is a slight tick after I drive and the engine is hot to running temp - So I can only assume there might be some wear to a lash adjuster, . The Cam phazer in my truck don't seem to be a problem either - but the only way to determine that is to have a scope show what they are doing. @@oldschoolgreentube
If you have determined that you don't have internal damage like a roller follower failing but from what you are describing is a loss of oil pressure, Now this can go in a completely different direction - The one weak thing that these engines have is oil pressured chain tensioners that have a tenancy to blow out there seals and cause oil pressure loss so this needs to be taken into account and will need inspection...
If your engine is quiet while cold during startup then you have good oil pressure. As the oil thins out due to heat and your engine is a bit louder in noise - You see It's hard to determine with out seeing or hearing whats going on - Can you do a video to show your situation is like and I can see if I can help further give you a better diagnosis.
Brian from BSM motors has a channel called Fordtechmakeuloco channel does some very good vids on these engines you should watch all that concerns your situation . Hope your situation improves @@jimwills2094
i have a 05 ford crown victoria police interceptor and it has a faint lifter tick but it wasnt as bad as yours. im gonna try this tomorrow
Awsome vid
Thanks brother 👍😁
Thank you
Great job! Going to add it to my 92 ford explorer that has slight ticking sound this should help!@
Hi there, thank you for the very informative video and responsiveness to commenters..
My mother’s 2012 Toyota RAV4 is not losing oil but rather it has a hydraulic lifter tick...
Is it necessary to add the stop-leak? Or am I fine with just the Lucas? Thanks in advance and God bless
Thanks for the comment. Just add Lucas oil stabilizer or Rislone. If the lifters are too bad they may need to be replaced
@@PhillipsVision much appreciated.. definitely will do that. Cheers! 🙏

Keep in mind, if the damage is too bad you may need to have a mechanic look at it.
I like the punisher hat
Had the same noise on my dad truck took it to a shop told my dad to put the same stuff and let it blow up and bring it back to get a new notor so i change out the lifter still driving after 5yrs after replacing parts still quiet 😊
Another subject I'm not getting any heat inside main cabin I have replaced blendoor and fan speed is working great could it be my climate control or heater core I'm not getting any leaks from passenger side I'm wondering if I flush it will I get heat . It's a 2005 Tahoe with 300k btw V8, 5.3
Nice video I have a 2005 mercedes e320 with 200k miles and I have the same problem my question is do you think that much of lucas additive is going to thick the oil too much and not to allow proper lubrication in engine passages?
Shouldn’t be a problem as long as you don’t exceed the % ratio as mentioned on the container
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!
Please reply!
I have a Fusion 1.5L Turbo Ecoboost with ticking noise (75k mileage) when starting the engine in the morning and when speeding (giving gas), not heard with steady speed.
I have a P0012 and P0014 (Camshaft position timing…) plus P0455 (EVAP System Leak), Ford dealership mechanic came with a quotation asking the camshaft over the pistons (bank1?), digital sensors, timing belt, valve cover gasket, engine belt to be replaced! Previous car owner used a cheap engine oil and was careless.
I have watched another precious video of you asking us to change the oil first, I did it, changed to %100 Synthetic of Amsoil + Motorcraft filter, cleaned digital sensors, changed fuel pump, the ticking sound still available, my question is; is the engine still dirty ? Some recommended flushing oil but Scotty and some people don’t recommend, dear Andy; do you recommend adding Sea Foam or Motorcraft Automatic Transmission Fluid to the recently added Amsoil Synthetic Oil (285 miles) ? Or, do you think replacing digital sensors (despite being cleaned and working) could fix the ticking ? Please help me make my mind and decide!
I have a Dodge Durango and going to try this combination of Lucas stop leak and stabilzer. Thanks!
Its probably the timing chain
I had bought Ann 05 trailblazer LS with the inline 6 in it..after I got the coils replaced and it running on all 6 cylinders…it sounded really good..I changed the oil and listening to the mechanics around town I used traditional oil with a quart of Lucas oil stabilizer..that made the engine sound like a diesel when it was first started and had a chatter to the engine that bugged the hell outta me…these things have the dual over head cams with the vvt solenoid in the side of the block that engages the second cam to get horsepower over torque…the vvt solenoid has xtremely fine screens in them that will blow out and into the oil if the oil isn’t constantly maintained…I tried several different additives and nothing helped…I had t on find the fuse panel info from the owners manual and got to looking through it for other things…and read in it…that it is recommended to use synthetic oil ..5/20-5/30 weight in the engine..this is due to the screens in the vvt..and also how tightly fitted the pistons etc are placed in these newer interference motors….I went and got the synthetic oil and a quart of Lucas….let the old oil drain out for a few hours before filling with the synthetic oil…and the problem was solved..,I always read the owners manual..,and had read most of it when I got the vehicle but hadn’t read that part of it…so now I strictly stick to my own advance and read the damned owners manual when I buy a vehicle..if I had continued using traditional, it would have caused more issues since these engines are sleeved ikr most are today…
who reading all that 😂

Thx
I have to do this!
I love the sound valve train of idling honda v6 or chevrolet ls alot sounds are just normal like honda has loudest valve train
I just did it hopefully it works
Amazing
I really liked your video. Easy and straight to the point.
One small question:: does it make a real difference if I add conventional/ synthetic motor oil?
No, I prefer synthetic since it doesn’t break down as quick.
Do u recomend that to do on truck like 2016 ??
What I use in my 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo is diesel oil that has zinc especially if you have a high compression engine Mobile 1 DELVAC
Is it a bit risky on a ferrari 328 with 60000 miles. Has a fair bit of top end light ticking.
So question;
I have a 3.5 I5 Colorado that has a ticking on the top end like a lifter. It comes and goes and I notice it most when sittting in a drive thru and the engine is hot. Does this thing have lifters? Will this work for my engine? THANKS!
I'm so confused I don't normally use additives in my vehicle at all I prefer to just fix the problem, but do you and the additives before you have oil in the vehicle because that's what it kind of sounded like or can you add it to existing oil. And do you add your normal amount of oil and then the additives or do you have to subtract the amount of oil in the car per how much additive you add?? So if you have three quarts of additive in a 5-quart oil system do you only put two quarts of oil in it or do you put all five quarts of oil in plus the 3 quarts of additive
Thanks
I have this problem on a new build with good oil. Could it be anything else to your knowledge?
What is this thick oil doing to am engine that requires 0W or 5W? Is it even circulating through the engine?
I have some sticky lifters. I'm due for an oil change so I put some MMO in the crank case and drove about 500 miles. The lifter noise is about gone now. I'm changing my oil today. Since it reduces the noise I'll probably just top off with MMO again when I'm due for another oil change and hope for the best.
hows itgo?
I haven't been as diligent with it. Now that the weather has warmed up I haven't noticed it as much. There's some other RUclipsrs that have replaced a quart of oil (not sure, but the directions on the bottle can confirm) with MMO and reported that the sound went away pretty quickly
@@erickgardner3765 At this point , I diagnosed my lifter are damaged or dirty.
Justin observation I really wouldn't use Lucas too much in the Northeast when you have really cold weather that Lucas turns into. Tar. I noticed this when I cut the oil pan off my blown motor. Not saying Lucas is bad but I would say it's primary application would be down south where it's 90 to 100°. All the time. Seriously
Hi guy 2005 trailblazer get worse when I do that. So I have to drain the oil out completely and put back 5w-30 and add one quart of ATF IN IT . And it quiet .
Thank you!! You are the best‼️
I have mazda 2 skyactiv it was overheating I took it to engineering they service the lifters but when I put it back the lifters starts making noise what can be the solution
Hi i have mazda 6 2003 2.0 diesel 152k km
And it has knocking sound in the engine when its on neutral but when i use 1st - 5th gear no knocking sound
What will you recommend for me?
Lucas or rislone ?
I change oil it last week
Help me
In my opinion Lucas is more effective with silencing existing noise. Rislone is good as an additive during oil changes for preventative maintenance. Make sure you get Lucas for Diesel engines.
02 Chevy Malibu, just got done with a head gasket job, and while screwing the #1 cylinder exhaust valve rocker back down, it kinda didn't wanna go... Ticking like crazy. Pretty sure the lifter is shot, or somehow got turned. Any advice? Really don't wanna tear it down again.
You could try an additive to see if it helps. If it’s too bad it will need work
How well does this work in a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 2.7 2WD?
that lil tick got my honda soundin like a damn diesel😭
Hi, thanks for the video! I have a Toyota Land Cruiser, 8 Quarts of oil... I will try your method. My question: Is it really bad to drive when your lifters are ticking even if they are quieted?
If they are bad, it’s best to have them replaced
I'm curious, after using all this will I have to change the oil? or will I drive with the additive inside until the next shift? Thank you
Just drive with it in there until your next oil change. If need be, add it again with your next change
I will try this combination on my 2009 Toyota Matrix XR. 2.4 LITRE 2az-fe. with a before and after vid. I can't street drive it(not registered with dmv yet). I wil drive around the apartment building across from me.
we allowed our oil to get really old and nasty but changed it when we realized how long it had been, then 3 weeks later I started getting a ticking sound... and an engine code about camshaft sensor...I pulled the sensor and found it gummed up so I cleaned it but still have the ticking, is this a lifter problem or a sensor problem? I also cleaned the solenoids to see if that would help, but no change
Could be the lifters, but could also be the engine
I've recently been throwing parts at a frustratingly unruly issue in my '98 yukon I bought a couple years ago.
Issue: At warm idle [or warm (above 40°F) ambient temp] the idle [700 RPM] to 2000RPM is very hesitant and nearly dies before "recovering and over-idling to compensate."
What have I done? Replaced [all acdelco] Iridium spark plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor. Replaced air filter. Then replaced oil with Mobil1 high mileage full synthetic and oil filter with K&N gold high flow filter, replaced bank 1 & 2 sensor 1 o2 sensors with Bosch [acdelco was unavailable to due strike conditions]. No luck.
Conditions got worse to where I had to keep the transmission in gear 2 up to 40mph to keep from hesitating/stuttering. Finally figured it must be a stuck valve, and added Lucas full-synthetic additives. Revved to 2.5k rpm for several minutes, let it rest overnight, and the next morning it's perfect. Stress-tested by getting it warmed to operating temperatures, and it's still 90% better. I think Lucas did a great job, but ultimately I need to adjust a rocker/pushrod or clean the engine out with 1k mile oil changes for a while. I'm not a mechanic, so who knows.
I bought a stage 3 camshaft kit for a SBC 5.7 vortec engine, the kit came with the camschaft lifters, gear and timing chain, I put the stage 3 cam, the gear and the timing chain, but I did not put the new lifters that came I put the stock ones in the kit, now when I drive my truck it doesn't take off, I press the throttle and it almost doesn't run, the engine sounds as if I hadn't put anything on it, my question is the following: does the engine of my truck work? So why didn't I put the new lifters on it?
Your first mistake was buying a stage 3 cam kit. The lifters it came with were designed specifically for the angle of the new cam lobes. Idk if the stock ones are hydraulic or roller lifters but you’re not going to go anywhere if you mix n match the geometry the engine was designed for. On top of the.. newer vehicles computer systems are very high tech. They have to adjust and compensate for how the engine is running and fill the gap in areas. When it doesnt have a clue what’s going on, you’re left with a stubborn motor that has no clue what to do. Put it back to stock
What am gonna use for my 04 Mitsubishi Andover back lower lifters making that noise
Hi Andy! So thankful I found your channel. You taught me how to change my coil packs. Now for the lifter noise, My 2014 Kia Rio only requires 3 1/2 quarts of oil. After I bought it, I just happened to check the oil from the dealership and they overfilled my oil. I’m anal about it now lol… Any comment suggestions on ratio for the Lucas? Thanks again so much!🙏😊
I used 60% Lucas since my noise was bad. If yours isn’t too bad, just do 20% to start
Lucas is basically gear oil. You don’t want to replace 40-60% of your 20 or 30 weight engine oil with something heavy enough to be differential oil. MMO would at least lube it and keeping oil moving easily through your engine and pump. That much too heavy oil is gonna quiet the whole thing soon. Amazing how quiet a seized engine is
A seized engine wouldn't move or not start. 😅😂
I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze that has a "clinking" sound(like glass clinking together) when i drive and increase the RPM's. It's almost nonexistent when idling, but every time i press the gas and increase those rpm's it makes that noise. I assume its "sticky valve", but can't be sure. Would this help with that as well?
Valves usually have a “ticking” noise. The clinking noise could be something loose
Down the valve guides
My 2005 Tahoe has a small ticking when engine warms up I'm kinda freaking out is it hard to diagnose which lifter is causing this issue and is it difficult to fix this issue I really enjoyed your video
Do you think I could possibly get good with just one of each instead of 2 and 1 and too make room for more quart of oil ? I have a 2013 Dodge Charger 3.6 with a lifter tick
You can give it a try and see what happens.
Hey I have the same engine in my Jeep…trust me it will not be good in the long run…my Jeep is also the 2013 3.6 we have the same engine, heads, and trans…your rocker arms are tapping…I bet it’s the passenger side too…either way it will need to be replaced…I can show you a pic of your problem…if you don’t park it and replace you’ll be paying around 5k for new rockers, rods, and cams…look it up on RUclips…I did and have replaced myself…along with the dreaded oil cooler/filter housing, and more…if your car is leaking oil, this could be the reason for the issue in the first place…I hope this helps and you read be for too much time passes! Give me a shout if you have questions!
RepliCrap at the end🤣🤣
Hey man I love the video definitely subscribed. My Kia Soul ran super low on oil and by the time I found out about it I’ve been hearing this ticking it sounds a lot faster than the tick in this video what might it be
It could be the valve lifters, or the timing chain and sprocket
Probably piston slap its common on the souls there should be a recall for it

Whats the ratio if my 2016 ram promaster 1500 capacity is 6 qts of oil
Anyone know if I can get this taken care of next time I get my oil changed?
My 2015 tahoe developed that same noise about 5 months ago. I just did an oil change about a week ago. Is it ok if I wait until the next oil change to try this? I did leave about 1 quart low on it. It takes 8, but I added 7.
That may honestly be your problem I ran a quart under what I was supposed to on Silverado after getting cam swap and it helped a lot
Can you do this video on the five seven heim?
Thanks for the video. Have a 2014 Rubicon with driver side ticking. Is there anything different about the Jeep 3.6 engine I should know about before I use this method.
I would start with just one quart of Lucas Stabilizer. If that doesn’t work then add the additional
@@PhillipsVision appreciate the info
@@jimdixon6688did it work
I had an oil change done about 2 months ago and don't drive the vehicle more than 100 miles per month. Do I have to drain the oil, or can I just add the stabilizer and stop leak to the existing oil?
You can add it, just make sure you drain enough oil out to make capacity for the additive(s). You don’t want to overfill your engine
Would it work for a 5.7 hemi engine?
Marvel Mystery oil in the gas and a good highway drive does wonders on my Ford 5.4 with 250k miles on it when the lifters start becoming noisy after sitting for a week or so.
I have ticking on my 2015 v6 charger. Would you recommend the heavy-duty or the pure synthetic with my next oil change?
Pure synthetic
For my 2008 Ford F-150 how many quarts of each product do you suggest? I have the 5.4L V8.., thanks again and god bless!!
How bad of an issue do you have, and how many miles?
Nice classic lambo
Great video with amazing insights. I wonder though, will this work with hydraulic lifters?
I don’t think so. It is best to replace them when they start tapping.
There is a German oil company called Liqui moly, they make amazing stuff, probably the best oils and additives I’ve ever used, they make an additive specifically for hydraulic lifters and that quiets them significantly, I’d definitely look into them.
@@prestonworden9811 thank you so much..I'll look into it..
Lucas oil even scotty kilmer recommends it with issues like this great stuff been around for years and years.
Andy! I have an Honda Accord V6 and it is using 5-20 Oil. How do I go about applying your fix method? Please let me know. Thanks
Use the same mixing ratio as mentioned on the container. These additives should mix with any weight oil.
@@PhillipsVision do I still add the stop leak if I don't have a leak?
