Lifter Tick At Start-up.

**97LS1VETTE** · 07-10-2007, 01:38 PM

I was hoping to get a second opinion on this subject....
After driving the car up to operating temp. If i shut the car off for a few minutes then restart it, I get lifters ticking for about 30 sec or so then goes away. Can some one give me some input on this.

Only suggestion I would have is to change the brand of oil and see what happens. Total shot in the dark. I know on my Morel lifters going from Castrol 0W-30 to Amsoil 5W-30 stopped my cold startup tick from the lifters due to the thinner Amsoil viscosity at start-up.
