Valve Cleaner

You could try a piece of vacumn or fuel hose, to pinpoint noise.I have used Rislone and Restore before with mixed results.I never used them in the same engine. Rislone definitely removes deposits from the engine parts, this can include from the piston areas. Be aware oil consumption can increase with use of it. Ticking can really bug a person. Jy.

Ah so, all is normal which is good. Just get some obnoxious noise on your iPod and crank it up. Should make the unpleasant clicking sound go away.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

If your not using a synthetic engine oil just switch to a high quality 0Wxx synthetic oil and use it year round. It will clean your engine, lifters, ring lands, everything and your engine will thank you for it.

A friend had a bad tick in a Mazda MPV some years back...the dealer said it needed an $1800 complete rebuild of the entire valve train.
On a suggestion he added some of the Militec-1 product to the oil and the noise completely went way never to return:thumbsup:

And the thing proably ran another 100K miles or got totalled when he wrecked it. This is the problem with some places they want you to rebuild your whole engine to get rid of a noise that wont really do anything. So what if your engine with 120K gernades in 50 k cause you did not do anything? You can also replace all or just one lifter for a lot shy of $1800
