Lifters?

[Jorge332655]

I have a 2000 cab 6spd I had a bad down**** and over reved a little last week.. The car runs fine but ive noticed that when i start the car in the morning it makes a taping sound for about 2 seconds then it goes away. Oil level is fine. Just wondering if i tore something up.. Any suggestions or is this ok.. It only makes the sound for about 2 seconds if that then it goes away.. Temp is fine car runs good

If you only hear it for 2 seconds when the car is started cold I wouldn't think that's is from an over rev. It was probably always there your just hearing it now 'cause your looking for something.

The tapping is from the valves lacking oil. When oil get to them, they are fine.

If you are using 0W40 in areas that are not very cold, (and this also means if you park your car in a moderate temperature garage) change to at least a 5W-40. Water (or 0W) oil does not like to stay in the lifters too long and may bleed down too much (especially after a spirrited drive) when the engine is shut down. This allows the lifter to lose it's hydraulic effect for a few seconds when starting until new oil can replace the missing oil.

Thanks i was a little concerned.. I turned it on this morn and it didnt do it. I live in Miami and in the keys so it is warm here. It over reved but only till 7 if that because i didint let off the clutch completely.. Either way im glad I didnt break anything.. Thanks again..
