hey mate that happens with my 97 gx only wen i strt it this is caused by movment inside the tapets not enouhg pressure has built up yet because  it takes time for the oil pump too get oil into the rocker box chambers above the tapets its most probably worn stems coz ur car has 332 on the clock witch wont help oil wont make any differnce      ...andy

Thanks andy but it happens all the time could this be due to not enough oil? even when warm and driven alot it still doesnt stop, will i be doing more damage while driving it

anyways you may need new tappets oooorrrrrr ur fuel pump might be on its way out

B4s r known 4 loud injectors, could be the same thing?

Maybe you should just take a video or get a soundclip. The words "tick" or "knock" could be used to describe so many different issues.

Hey well update is that I put lifter noise cleaner in it and today the noise has dissapeared though there is some sound coming back it's kinda on and off now though now I have a worse issue since adding the cleaner one of my plug leads keeps falling off or I think keeps getting jumped off by the spark plug please anyone have any ideas of what's going on I have to stop often to put the plug back on it's the same lead all the time when I put it on it's always tight and I don't see how it could just fall off.  Could the spark plug be making it fall off thanks

i dont want to rain on your party or anything, but i'd use some thicker oil and live with it 330+kzs is a job welldone i think from a engine

if your going to throw any more then 100 bucks at it i would be looking at a 2 or 2.5 n/a and dropping it in , heres a link on ebay , they

are pretty cheap these days, run a 20/50w or a 20/60w in her, but your only going to be delaying the inneviatble :S
