Cracked my pan the other week, drove a bit to a safe place and shut it down. I recently filled it back up with oil and let it run, I can hear diesel ticking which is louder than usual, like valve chatter. It changes with RPM but since the car is loud I can't hear it over 3k.
Came here and searched, I found a leak on injectors 1 and 2 so I pulled them, cleaned, and re-sealed. Still ticking.
Pulled the valve cover and I'm not sure if I checked correctly, but I can push the lifters down with my bare fingers, but it is hard. I think I read that they shouldn't even move. The cam looks gorgeous and seems to have minimal wear, they were covered in oil, but the lifters look to have minimal wear and no cracks.
Also I read it could be the camshaft bearings. The ticking is coming from the top of the engine near the timing belt.
I need to order parts ASAP since my free time will be gone once school starts, I was thinking to just order new valves, springs, and lifters, plus cam bearings. Anything else? I will change the TB next week, the car has 220k on it.
