i have a 97 grand prix gt with the v6 3800..... I was told when i bought it they thought the oil pump was out....... ive looked at it and im pretty sure the oil pump isnt out..... but there is a ticking type noise the sounds like its coming from the top of the engine...... i looked at the rocker arms and they all appear to be lubricated and in good shape..... i have no clue what this could be.... the noise speeds up when you give it gas...... but it has a steady pattern....... i thought maybe it was a spun bearing..... but with the oil pump working im hoping its not that..... i dont know much about engines so im getting into a whole new territory and im trying to go the cheapest route..... if its something major the guy i bought it from said hed give me my money back.... but i dont have a whole lot of time to let him know either way... any help would be appreciated!
