Guys this was on my Discovery, however I still feel connected to this forum and dont think it could hurt, anyone experiencing tick or knocking sound..
Ok so maybe its not a cure, honestly im in the process of learning exactly what all the parts of the engine does. So Im not sure how or why this worked BUT....
I was having a bad tick. I thought it was because of my stripped bolt in my exhaust downpipe but it was getting worse and worse. My truck started sounding like a diesel. Cool but not really..
I was messing around under my hood today and decided to toss in a little MMO
[Marvel Mystery Oil] into the crankcase.[4oz] Not expecting anything, just bored and what the hell..
Then I noticed my truck was really quiet. I went over to the passenger side and the ticking was completely gone.. It was ticking while hot or cold and BAD, now its GONE.
Im heard it was a stuck lifter, which Im not quite sure what that is. Point being. I was about to remove my exhaust to removed the stripped screw, that wasnt even the problem.
THIS IS NOT IN MY HEAD. Tick was LOUD and is completely gone. When I first bought it I was only using it in my gas which seemed to really make it idle smoother [this is before I knew this was one of its claims]. The smoother idle may have been in my head but the tick was not..
I only bought the stuff out of boredom and because I saw a bottle of it in my brother in laws car and I heard my dad mention it one time.
Is this a temporary fix? I dont know.. But it certainly stopped me from removing my exhaust.
