Rattling sound from engine?

Teohenwhy · 02-14-2016, 06:39 AM

I have this rattling sound from the engine that goes away after the engine is warmed up. Basically on a cold start it will rattle until the engine is really warmed up . It sounds like it is coming from under the valve cover. It sounds like the valves need to be adjusted but from what I understand our motors don't have adjustments for the valves? Thanks in advance for any info.

Took my car to an Indy and he said he thinks the lifters need to be replaced ?

To be honest the sound you have is different than that of a lifter ticking sound.

Actually it sounds EXACTLY like this video in person. Must be the quality from my phone.
