Clicking in Engine

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

Are you using a good oil filter? Using a cheap (usually orange) filter is almost a guaranteed way to get lifter tick...

Well, last night I took out the rod from the vacuum pump, but the
clicking was still present.  Today I'll see if it is the noisy lifters or
cracks in the EM.  It's only been 2500 miles since my last oil change,
but the oil used in that change wasn't as thick as Dave suggested.
