Valve Train noise / Startup

[dsa87gn]

Sometimes when i start the car i get a second or two of concerning noise from my motor. It sounds like it is the top half,
rockers.

Other times it starts up and i dont hear anything unusual at all ??

Try the Lucas Oil Stabilizer. I bet your noise will diminish considerably.

My '85 does that too.......Most of the time it does it, it is after it has been sitting for a day or two. Kinda scary if ya ask me Could it possibly be a bad bearing, but you would be able to tell with oil pressure? Right? What should the stock oil pump be pushing for oil pressure?

Idling?
Cruising?
WOT?
70 MPH?

TIA

i noticed that noise as well. it started after i installed a
filter relocation kit to save the turbo bearing.

Do you guys have one as well.

guys, a bad anti drain back valve in a oil filter causes that.you hear that noise for 3 seconds becuase the filter has no oil so the motor has to fill it. I had that problem with my first and only fram I eve used. I use purolator now, no problems.

check out your filter
