    I've been getting this ticking for a while now and I'm pretty sure it's lifter tick, but then again I don't have too much experience. Will oil stabilizer/viscosity adder minimize this? Is this going to be a big issue? https://youtu.be/ijUx-tgeHvU

    The audio quality is pretty bad, I think whatever you are using is making it worse.

    But try sticking a long screw driver to your ear and the other end on the fuel rail above the injectors, almost sounds like a super loud injector noise.

    You can add transmission fluid the oil to help clear up a lifters if you want to aswell.

    Do what fivefinger said. But also use that method on each one of your valve covers. Kindnofnhard to hear in that video.

    I apologize for the quality, my phone is pretty bad. It's the sort of loud watch-like tick. Almost like a bicycle coasting? I'll do what you guys said, thanks for the tips.

    I think I found out what it is. Sounds like it's the injectors.

    If so, I wouldn't worry about. Some are just really loud and some aren't.

    My old car was loud at idle, sewing machine like.
