possible lifter tick
i just got an 04 x type 3.0 the other day and after parking it at home this morning after work i noticed a rapid metallic ticking. first i thought it was coming from behind the dash board but i popped the hood and heard it there too. to me it sounds like lifter tick and im wondering if anyone else experienced this with their car. it has just over 55k miles on it and i opted for the select edition so this should be something the dealer should fix right? im not about to tear a motor down to the heads after i just bought it.

RE: possible lifter tick
if you have select edition, don't remove things from the motor. Let the dealer do it.
Never heard valvetrain noise like that from an X-Type yet. Did you try and turn off the a/c to see if noise goes away?
The injectors can get pretty loud on Xs from time to time. Possibly that you are hearing?

RE: possible lifter tick
i just bought the car from the dealer yesterday (my days run together because i work third shift) and this morning was when i noticed it. pulled into the parking spot at home, put it in park with with all accessories turned off and then i hear it. sounds almost like a sewing machine, steady rhythmic metallic clicking. turned the car off for a minute or so and then back on and the noise wasnt instant, but when idle rpm settled, it came back. i'll check it again when my wife gets home with it, but i dont remember hearing it while pressing the accelerator.

RE: possible lifter tick
ohc engines don't have litters they are more like the old flat head motors and at most use tappets. My x makes all kinds of stupid noises from the drivetrain so good luck. Could be an exhaust leak as well so make sure your manifolds and all that are checked as well. Good luck.

i noticed yesterday i had a tick and then once i got home the car sounded real bad, if i reved it if sounded like something in the exhaust system. did notice i was a little low on oil so i added some,. once it gets up to operating temperature you hear it the most. had a v8 dakota and i had a broken exhaust manifold bolt. sounds like the same but i just put the car up on CL tonight, with no job and what little unemployment i get i cant afford to put any money in it. If any of you are from the ny area and want a car ill sell it to you cheap
