My Lifters Are Ticking

[83turbomon]

What Do I need to do? My friend hopped in my car and I think he might have over revved the engine...

 

[dr_frankenstein]

add a quart of 20/50

or some lucas oil treatment.

A.j.

 

[buickruss]

get a new friend

X2 all of this advise.

 

[charlief1]

Get some CD2 Detergent to add and let it work for a while. If it doesn't clear up then you have a problem and then you can kick your "friend" in the nads.

people were telling me that what he did was really messed up... my engine sounds like a typewriter now

 

[charlief1]

You need to get it to a shop ASAP and have it checked out. A reputable shop. Sounds like it's hurt bad if it sounds like a typewriter. (You actually know what one of those is?)

he might have over revved the engine...

Valve float..... Hopefully nothing got bent. Does the car run different, less power, bad idle?

 

[b4black]

Is it all of them, or just one. If it's a tick-tick-tick (one tick per rpm), then it could be many things.


It would be a challenge to over rev the engine with an automatic trans.

Yes I do know... I think we have one somewhere...

I thought that with the old OHV pushrod engines, that it was possible to bend a pushrod, or get a valve float.

the car runs the same, but it seems like the idle may be off, but I havent checked the timing either. My car also never has felt like it has had a lot of power, especially up hills.

Yes, it would be possible, but these cars tend to shift well before the redline. It's possible, but unlikely.
