noisy valves
i own a 90 ford ranger,with 312 clicks on it,as soon as the engine warms up,the valves start ticking,then the ticking goes away,how do you quiet noisy valves?is there an oil additive,i can add?

Your problem my be low oil pressure. When you start your truck it has cold,very thick oil as it sets in the driveway and warms up the oil gets hot and thinner.When you drive to work the engine runs at higer RPM which runs the oil pump at a higer RPM increacing oil pressure and quiting oil starved lifters.To see if I am right hook up a mechanical guage.

Have the same problem on the Ranger too, just a loud clicking noise, only mine happens most of the time (regardless of motor temp) in the 1100-1400 range, and 2200-2400 RPM range, same with you? I dont know though, is there a chance that it could be something behind the timing belt cover? I cant quiet figure out if it's coming from the top of the motor, or the front, any suggestions?

in response to toms reply,if my ranger has low oil pressure,what do i do?cant afford a rebuild yet,and i get regular oil changes.i was told by my mechanic,that sometimes,there is not much you caan do,about noisy lifters.i wont worry about it,truck runs good,cept for the occassional,ticking noise.

dear friends
dont't confuse oil level with oil pressure.I see a rebuld in your future.I take that you aren't a shade tree mechanic. use 30w for max oil pressure. if you want to repair your motor talk to ;me or your friends ,a good machinc shop.Now use your head ,if you don't have any money,sell this truck to a salvage yard
