RE: [Chevelle-List] Malibu with a tick. Sounds like a lifter to me.
Title: Malibu with a tick. Sounds like a lifter to me. If you are able to determine that this is a sticking lifter, here is trick that I have used many times. Add about half of a Quart of automatic trans fluid to the engine. Plain old Dexron is fine. ATF contains a lot of the same detergent additives used in motor oil and will help dissolve accumulated varnish. Drive the car up to 1500 miles and change the oil. I have used this trick for preventive maintenance on most of the cars and trucks that I've driven for the past 25 years with good results.

Sounds like a lifter to me. Hey everyone, I have been floating around this list for a month or so now. I never really had any questions till now. A couple of days ago, I started the chevelle up after work and I noticed it started making this ticking sound that I had never noticed before. I am pretty sure it sounds like a lifter is sticking in it's bore but I am not sure. I had never heard my car do this before. One of those things that just strated happening out of the blue. What could have caused this to start happening. It wasn't a slow progression of ticking either, it just started all of the sudden, really audible. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Is this a bad sign of things to come in my engine? Is this just something that starts to happen in 30+ year old cars? Look forward to hearing what you guys think, Bill Kays '69 Malibu

Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List William welcome to the list. About your tick, it MAY/COULD be a blown/leaking exhaust gasket. I had a tick when I first installed my motor and that was the problem. You could have a lifter problem, but check the easy stuff first. rick (Abilene Texas) 72 El Camino TPI 350/700r4 ACES #00140 TEAM CHEVELLE #00038 http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.html http://chevelles.com/showroom/ricks%20motor%20-L On Tue, 2 Oct 2001 12:50:32 -0700 "Kays, William @ San Fran Peninsula" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >Replies to this message are sent to The Chevelle Mailing List > > >This message is in MIME format.
