[s-cars] Ticking valve

[Kevin Campbell]

Thanks.  Your suggestion is definitely the best option.

I ran 4.5 quarts of ATf for 15 minutes at idle.  The drained it and
added Mobile Cleaner oil.  The ticking is gone.

I guess my old man was right (the 25+ year German auto mechanic).

I've been on vacation or I would have responded to your posting sooner.
My
best advice is find out what's causing the ticking - when I dug into
mine
expecting to just replace the lifters I found one valve keeper missing
and
the remaining one split longitudinally on an intake valve.  Very scary.
So
don't treat the symptom, treat the root cause.

Anyone know of a quick fix for a ticking valve?  I've heard that adding
a little ATF to the engine oil works.

Thanks,
