New valve train noise, not usualy tick. This morning I started up the car and heard an extra ticking noise in my '00 (with 170k) that sounds like cam/lifter related. Hard to tell. . Actually thought something sounded odd when I shut it off last night.
I drove it to work, lifted the hood. Cant tell what side the noise is coming from.
It did get louder with a little rev.
I have plenty of oil in the sump, and oil pressure is 40psi on idle(usual).
I have put a video on youtube,
Its hard to tell the normal ticking, probably from the mic on the camera. The tick/know was a deeper tone, and it dosn't happen with every stroke.
Heads/Cam was changed about 3-4 years ago. around 35,000 miles on them. Perhaps its time to get them rockers covers off and take a look inside.
