    Click Click or tick tick?

    Tick tick is a hydraulic lifter that takes a second to pump up.

    Its usually not fatal.

    Click Click is a dead battery and you won't hear tick tick;)

        If you're like me and you haven't started your car for a awhile you will hear ticking sound and then it disappears.

                  That's right, you did posted on going with a thicker oil. That can do it too.

                    It has this weight oil in hot Florida for over 2 years.
                    I have 155000 miles.
                    Its hard to believe it took this long to happen.
