Noisy lifters

noneyabusiness did pass the time by typing:

The max (before bypass) is 70psi, time to clean the connector on the oil pressure sender. It's down by the oil filter.

Even when new the I6 is noisy. But sometimes lifter noise is actually a tiny crack in the exhaust header. You will know this because it tends to get quiet as the engine warms up.

Sure you arn't listening to the injectors?

As another reply stated these engines seem to be noisy almost by design. Piston slap is the biggie. If it sounds like a diesel at idle it's piston slap and RESTORE will quiet it down.

Dunno... sounds like lifters to me, but I'm not a trained mechanic ;-) ACTUALLY, I think I should have stated it sounds like it needs a valve adjustment (klackety klack), but maybe it's the same thing.

All I can say is that it sounds kinda like my Toyota did when the oil level was getting low.

A friend with a 98 TJ also said to be aware of potential header problems, so I'll keep an eye on it but the sound seems to remain regardless of engine temp.

Got a manual trans? When you're idling in neutral, press the clutch pedal to the floor and see if your klackety stops klacking.
