Ticking noise in engine

It is normal for engines to develop ticking noises as they age. The valve lifters are usually hydraulic and can change ability to hold fluid as tight as when new, cams and cam followers can wear down. The cost to remedy a slight tick is not worth it.

One of my vehicles started making a rather disturbing sound so I went to investigate and to hopefully fix it.

you check clearance cam shaft.if your cam shaft big clearance.you need fix clearance.the noised your engine or valve any particular of that clearance can be taken your car really ticking very noised mom?before your rally worn out.

A ticking sound is usually a valve and if it stops at higher rpms I would guess it is oil related. Seems like the oil pump might be getting tired and not pumping enough at low rpms.

The sound you hear is the metal parts of your exhaust system and catalytic converter cooling down.Some cars are louder than others but the sound is perfectly normal.

Probably, but other things can cause what sounds like a tick as well. Early rod wear can sound a lot like a lifter tick. Sometimes even the transmission can develop a ticking in the area of the torque converter/pump. If there is no other apparent issues, chalk it up to old bones - after all you have 186K on it.

this engine has a real problem with the spark plugs coming loose, the noise they cause is a ticking noise, this may be the problem.

YES,THESE BOLTS MAY NOT BE TIGHT..I HOPE THIS HELPS

Do this first: Change the oil. I recommend Havoline, or Valvoline 10w30. Make sure to use a GOOD quality oil filter(WIX only). Then buy a can of "Seafoam". Follow the instructions exactly! After 500 miles, repeat the process(except for the "Seafoam"). The "Seafoam" should help to clean up any carbon or junk in the engine. When you change the oil again, add "LubeGuard Engine Treatment". This should help stave off the engine replacement blues.

problem here is a ticking to one is a knock or a tap or a thud ect to others so of my experiance with engines if its a ticking that gets louder with the engine getting warmer its got to be the tappets its the only thing that would get louder if it gets louder when accelerating it could be ignition timming causes pinking most other things on engines that cause ticking sounds could be something catching fuel pumps cause a ticking noise but are not normally affected by engine temp yates210456
