So I have a situation and I'm not sure how much more research I have can do considering I have spent all day searching for similar problems/circumstances that have occurred and not really found much.
Problem: I have an intermittent ticking noise that doesn't seem to occur at particular instant. It will last for a few minutes and then go away. I had believed it was the valve lifters, bled them, and the same problem occurred the next time I went to the track. My oil pressure gauge does not work but I am going to see if I can get it to work, therefore possibly eliminating any possible oil pressure problems. I had checked zilvia earlier and multiple people have said that this (or a similar situation) is due to weak oil pump. If I test the oil pump and it is in fact not the problem, then I am going to assume it is most likely one or multiple weak valve lifters. Anyone with similar problems or knowledge, please help as my network of over 40 drifter friends is failing me!!!!
