> Hello loyal listers.  My 87 4KQ has a terrible lifter ticking problem.  It
> will begin to tick about 2 days after I change the oil, and I am using all
the
> right stuff.  Synthetic oil, Lubro Moly metal treatment, sometimes oil
> detergent (Marvels Mystery Oil) and factory replacement Audi/VW Oil
filters.
> The lifters are about 14 months old and the oil pan apears to be fine on
the
> outside.  Yet the lifters tick like crazy after about 2 days of normal
> driving, why does this happen.
