Engine ticking noise Diagnosed and Fixed. You would not believe!!!

A simple overlooked scenario when trying to solve noisy engine hydraulic lifters.
It was a cheap fix but very frustrating to diagnose.

Thanks for posting this video, I’m going to be sorting the sticky lifters on my 91 twin turbo soon so will keep an eye on oil pressure too. 👌

nice discovery my friend!

My car makes same sound its a 2004 mercury marauder . Would you recommend i take it to a dealership and have them find the reason for the issue or should i start by buying a new oil pan and replacing it to see if that is the issue

Sweet Car! I bet it rips with the new rocket.
Please tell me it's a stick shift??!

Nice job my friend just subscribed do the same for me please. Usually you can run some arf and some seafoam and it will quiet things up. Jdm engine sit for s while and get sticky. Vtc cam gears make noise to. Always make sure suction strainer is not clogged. Low oil pressure will cause ticking in lifters. Oil pan is always dented on jdm motors after sitting on crate. It will cause another strange noise called oil cavitation. I actually had the same issue did the same thing with a slide hammer. Just make sure welds don't leak on pan mine seeps slightly. Replace the oil pan that one is pretty bad.
