| Post subject: | I Can't Give it the Beans |
Hi all, Whenever I put my foot down to give my car a good pasting I end up with a very noisey engine when I stop. There is a loud ticking from the left bank somewhere. If I proceed to drive normally for a while or turn the engine off for a few minutes it goes back to normal. It sounds like a knocking cam or tappet type of noise but it can't be either as the noise goes away once I treat her nice again. Are the 3.4 engines partial to oil starvation anywhere? I have recently had the oil separator replaced, an engine flush and new oil/filter installed which hasn't remedied the situation. Are the lifters a common problem? If so, how difficult are they to replace? I'm nervous about putting my foot down now which is embarrassing when other oiks want to try it on at the lights! |
