RE: Ticking sound from engine??

["PAT MARTIN" <MARDKINS@msn.com>]

Sounds like lifter noise.  I just replaced my lifters and I still get the 
noise sometimes.  Make sure you get the oil filters with the pressure valve.  
I did not have that filter and now that I do I have not heard it since 
swiching.  You can also switch to Mobil1 and that will probably take care of 
it. 

Hope this helps.

Howdy All,

     Seems as of a couple days ago the quattro has decided to grace me with
yet another funny noise.  This is an ' 86 4KCSQ, it sounds like a ticking
noise and increases or decreases accordingly with engine rpms, is anyone
thinking valves like I am?  But the odd thing is that it's very sporadic, but
it does seem to be doing it with more frequency....  Also the damned odometer
stopped working, but that I can live without.  One last question and I'll
leave you guys alone, has anyone ever had a car checked before buying by
those "mobile" diagnostics services or any diagnostic service for that
matter?  Well thanks for the input folks!
