So my buddy has a 98 trans am auto well tonight we were out crusing and chasin down ricers and **** when starting ticking, checked oil just to see and it was fine. So we headed back to my house and as we're driving sometimes it ticks and sometimes not if we hit a bump it seems to stop and it dose not tick at idle but if it is a lifter shouldn't it tick all the time? Any in puts would be great. Thanks guys.

Re: Bad lifter?
in to jack your thread or nothign i have the same problem i get a tick after i drive the car around for a while but i dont know if its and exhaust leak or what. my mechanic said i heard a leak since we used crappy bolt to hook the manifolds to the y exhaust pipe. i bought the the replacement bolts at the stealership four bolts for 25 dollars but havent got around to put them yet to if its the problem -

Re: Bad lifter?
every morning when i go out and fird up my car it ticks for about 5 minutes then goes away. pretty much does that every time its started if it has sat for more than a couple hours. should i also be concerned? my mechanic says its ok, just the oil is at the bottom of the engine and it needs time to circulate. thoughts? also not trying to jack your thread man.
perhaps this is a job for seafoam?Comment

Ya well kinda, it dose sometimes.Originally posted by 97rs4life View Post
No cause we sat in the walmart parking lot for like 2 hours letting the engine cool down, and as it warmed up the worst it got. Thats why we are not so sure if it actually a lifter or not.Originally posted by truekoa View Post3M MAFIA

Re: Bad lifter?
so the lifter tick goes away after the engines warms up so in my cases it should be the i do have and exhaust leak. is ticking a a common noise? i should have the tick in the manifold area were they connect to the exhaust pipeComment
