doesnt say any of those.

 

i may go ahead and replace the oil pump

i also have a ticking sound as well, but it normally goes away when the car warms up, but when i leave work after its been sitting for 9-10 hours its really loud

 

Just because you have enough oil does not mean it is working properly. If oil is old and dirty, it loses a lot of it's viscosity as it breaks down from heat and combustion by products. In essence, it gets runny.

Try changing the oil before you do anything. If the noise continues.. take it for a half hour or so run to make sure all the old oil is out of the lifters.

I had a similar problem with my car after it sat for three weeks without being started. I had at least two VERY noisy lifters until I ran the car for a good fifteen minutes.

 

mad u might be right my car was down for 4 weeks with no oil. ill do a change here soon. then

 

I had the ticking issues with my tibby and I didn't want to spend the money to repair it I ended up selling it before it decided to break down...hehe stupid dealer gave me 5 grand for it.

 

did u mean 10-40?
i was running mobil1 full sythetic and i had this clicking noise now i am running a simi sythetic and the ticking has gone away havent heard it sence.
any1 with this ticking problem should try it. i recommend it to.

 

yea i agree. i ran royal purple full synthetic oil in my car for a long while, & usually the way it worked w/ me is during a cold start, i could hear a tapping noise (pretty loud too) & once the car warmed up the noise would either go away, or quiet down. later on during the use of full synthetic oil, it did the same thing, but instead of going away it would "slightly" decrease in noise. i then switch to regular 10w30 oil (i flushed the car too) (non-synthetic). & at first i just quieted down a whole lot, but soon went away. i don't think the pump was designed for such a thin oil & more than likely had a hard time reaching the top.
