Loud ticking noise

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i have loud ticking noise coming from top of engine need help have removed vavle cover looks ok

 

Check the valve clearance, if 24 valve make sure valve bridge didn't come off. Also cap on end of rocker arm will sometimes fall off. You can run engine with valve cover off to listen for location of noise better. Good Luck

 

Thanks but every thing looks in place with the rockers

 

You NEED to check your valve lash. Looking at the will not help you. How many miles are on your rig?

 

Getting ready to do that now just found out that the vent screws out but thanks for the advise

 

All valves lashed good found no problem there whats next

 

Do you have a miss????

 

Go buy a $10 automotive stethoscope and pinpoint where the tick is coming from.
Also helps to know the truck's year and tranny.

 

It is a 1999 auto with 95000 miles, Used stethoscope and narrowed the noise to the area around #2 and 3 cylinders near injecter line nuts, No miss, Today loosened injecter lines and could hear sound change when #2 loosened may be injecter

 

Think I have found my problem #4 injecter when line loosened killed cylinder and noise went away have set of 60 hp's on the way thanks for the ideas

 

Put in new injecters noise still there please help
