The ticking was terrible when I used 10w30 Now I use 15w40 diesel oil T6 shell Never really hear the lifter tick until I get off a long high way trip then goes away in a minute
I did 10-30 with a quart of Lucas. Helped my oil psi and ticking…. Then again I drive mine 300+ miles a week over a mountain. She’ll blow when she wants to lol.
My 83 ranger has the same problem but it has tons of oil leaks i have a feeling that the pump is clogged because no matter how much oil i put on it it still is super clattery.
I think these engines are just cursed with that ticking sound. But good thing is, I’ve beat the heck out of this thing toeing heavy loads and it’s been one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve had and if this engine ever does blow I’ll definitely do a rebuild.
@@kys_garage898in the last few weeks I discovered i drove 500 miles with probably 1 inch of valve lash and it still made it, so I definitely agree with the durability, i have since resolved that problem but its still a super clattery motor
I wouldn't recommend Lucas. The tube to your oil pump is small and it will clog areas. Have a 89 Ranger myself. Now I'm regretting putting that stuff in it.
Fresh oil change is always good for a new car. Looks like that did help with this issue. Keep the videos coming
It definitely is! Hopefully it helps it out or atleast make the wear on the engine less
always love watching your videos, you’re doing awesome babe🥰 excited to see your next one!

Really?
Add some AT205 re-seal to see if it stops the leak. It rejuvenates seals very well.
