ticking noise out of the engine?

Post by islandvitara »

hi all, gotta 1.3 sierra with a ticking noise out of the engine. ticking noise gets louder with the throttle and faster with the revs? i remember my last sierra to do a similar thing but not as bad i guess just doesnt sound right anyways.

Tappets need adjusting.

Should be worse when cold.

You'll need some feeler gauges and a service manual.

Yes better to err a little on the loose side..... but as your directly loosing valve lift its going to hurt performance.

Saw an article somewhere recently and was quite surprised at just how much effect it had. Pity I can't find it.....
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.
