How many motors and trannies do you plan on working your way through on your way to a million?

RE: ticking noise
Hey both of you guys, I have a questionabout your noise. Do you hear it inside the car? I mean is it really quiet and sounds like it is coming from in front of the driver? If so I have a cost-free easy fix!

My lifters are hella loud.

It is fairly quiet. I can barely hear it from inside w/ the radio off, but keep in mind my exhaust is kinda loud. It's easy to hear if I stand by the hood. As far as by the drivers area, I haven't listened that closely I can check again.

RE: ticking noise
One morning, I started my blazer, the lifters were ticking like crazy upon startup, till it warmed up.
I thought to myself, well i'll just adjust them, like Idid on my 92 S-10, which had a 4.3 also.
After some investgative work, seems the lifters are non-adjustable, it's just torque em down to 30 ft. lbs,thats it.
This indicates a lifter or two is seeping down after sitting awhile.
It did this for 2 days, then I went down to Advance Auto, picked up some Mobil One Fully Synthetic 5-30w.
Did the change,with a new filter,it hasn't ticked since, plus it's been holding the best pressure it ever has.
It's been a couple months now, sill quiet.
It's worth a shot to try, instead on engine work.
I hope the best for all that has the ticking going on.

RE: ticking noise
I can hear my ticking noise inside the vehicle (though most people can't hear it no matter how hard you try and make them). But it only ticks for about 15-20 seconds after the engine is started, and as Justin stated, it only does it if the engine is starting cold.
For the record I've used Mobil 1 fully synthetic 10w-30 oil and filter (rated for 15,000 mi., changed regularly at 4-5,000 mi.) since about 80,000 miles and now I'm at 100,000.

this is a cold-engine only concern
move you accelerator cable off of the PCV tube and see if the noise quits.
