Bad lifter after oil change?
Bad lifter after oil change? So i recently did a tune up (changed oil/plugs/wires) and for some reason the car now has a small tick in the top end i put my ear closer and to me it sounds as if its coming from the intake valvecover area. Not very firmiliar with these motors, thought it might of been an exhaust leak but no black soot is showing anywhere.
THE TICK GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK AND IT USUALLY ONLY SOUNDS FROM IDLE TO ABOUT 1500-1800 RPMS. Can someone please help me out here i can get a video if anyone is interested. ALSO RANDOMLY THE OIL PRESSURE TENDS TO DROP THE MORE I DRIVE, THE FIRST 10 MIN OF DRIVING THE OIL PRESSURE IS FINE (JUST ABOVE 40) THEN IT BEGINS TO SLOWLY FALL. FIRST 40 THEN RIGHT UNDER 40 THEN TO ABOUT 35ISH.
Do these symptoms sound familiar?

All else equal, the oil pressure will be higher when the engine is colder and lower as it warms up; Once fully warmed up the oil pressure should increase by at least 10 psi with each 1,000 rpm. If you change oil viscosity the relationships are still applicable, but the absolute psi you see could be slightly different from that seen with the old oil.
There are several possible causes for the ticking sound.
