lifter noise?
Hey guys, I have a 92 vr-4 with 53k on it. I just recently started to get what sounds like really bad lifter tick. I just changed my oil with durablend 10w-30 and a quart of risolene. Today, my dad and I were looking at the engine and we started to unplug the spark plug wires to see if we could narrow it down to a cylinder. It went away if we disconnected the wire to the number 5 cylinder, that's the only one it would go away with. I don't really notice the engine ticking on startup as much as when it is warm. It ticks really loud from 2-3k RPM, but not with the wire to the #5 cylinder disconnected.
Do you guys think that the problem is the lifter in #5 or could it be something else? Also any suggestions on how to get rid of it or do I need new lifters? Sorry about the long post but thanks in advance for any replies!
