Lifter Tick

[Khronik]

out of nowhere im getting a lifter tick, not positive its a lifter tick but this seems to be what it is
no loss in power, oil pressure, etc etc

tightened the throttle cable since it seemed loose, made the muffler make sort of a flutter sound when barely adding gas, loosened it some and now it sounds normal.

after doing this I noticed theres a tick (trying to get this on video), cannot hear the tick without the hood open.

thinking about cleaning the lifters but what kind of damage can running with the lifters ticking cause?

BTW bought the Z with a few hundred miles short of 60k and have done two oil changes since using 5-30W Mobil1

yeap Z1 sells it ^ he used it if i recall and so did it works

ive heard some good and more bad about using engine flushes, whats the true story here?

s*** if uve used it and it works and Z1 apparently uses it, might have to give it a shot, damn tick is annoying

[Chattzx]

Yeah man use it, mine was pretty bad when I first got my car especially during a cold warm up and this worked immediately and has not come back since. Just follow the directions exactly.

any other suggestions on engine flushes? probably end up getting the Z1 flush but not sure I want to wait for it

btw 5W-30 Mobil1 good for a 60k engine?

eh its worth a try it worked in my case. and I use 10w-30 mobil 1 during summer and 5w-30 mobil 1 during the winter, but it doesnt really matter.
