BG products MOA oil adative. It fixes lifter noise. If it is something worse(Rods!) try adding 90 weight gear oil untill it shuts up and trade it in quick(old used car lot trick).

Never Ever Owna Neon
I think it's more of a LOUD tick...almost a knock....weird noise |
Re: I need a quick fix
any ideas?

Re: I need a quick fix
Maybe some like Smoke-B-Gone. It's a really REALLY thick oil additive. Maybe try either lower or higher viscosity oils. Probably higher would do the trick

I had the same problem on my old car, try some lucas oil additive. It worked for a while.

Re: I need a quick fix
1qt of Rislone
come in a Yellow 1qt bottle, just like oil, in the additives section of most parts stores and walmart. do an oil change with the normal oil you would use and replace 1qt with this stuff, works wonders. i did the same thing on my old mustang, loud tick/knock. put some of that in, went away almost immediately. 4 days later traded it in, 6 days after that, dealership called me and told me to never step foot on their lot again due to the lemon i traded in, lol |
