j_feze Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 my car got driven through some flooded streets (not by me) and now there is a tapping noise coming from the motor. at first i thought a rod may have got bent but now im leaning twards a noisy lifter after having someone else listen to it. Anyone have any ideas what the noise could be and how to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca89 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Tapping noise could be cams, pistons, a rock that somehow made it into the cylinder... Could be more help if you described it a bit better. Is it a light ping, a heavy knock, an irregular rattle, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any ideas what the noise could be and how to fix it i'd say a light ping but pretty noisy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orca89 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) the noise has a slight knock to it but its more like a higher pitched ticking sound its pretty loud Ok, first off, there's an edit button. 3 1-sentence posts is just a waste of your time and ours. i took the oil cap off and the ticking sound seemed to match the movement of the lifter from what i could see Sounds like it's probably the valves.
