We had a gas motor that had a sticky lifter, it would tick sometimes and not others. A can of sea foam fixed it. Most parts stores have that stuff, but I have no idea if it's something you would want to put in a diesel.

i think i know what it is i got to put the stock injecters in and see if its still tickin,i think im hydrolocking pistion 1 cause it stoped makin noise when i cracked the line to bleed it today

in relevance to your first post about fireringing or o ringing. from what heard (and anyone feel free to put in there input) that fireringing is really only good for a drag race only or sled pull only truck because with firering's you have to re torque the head about every 3 months or something like that. the only benefit to fireringing (again this is what i heard) that it will hold about 30 more lbs of boost then oringing and oringing will still hold about 110 or 120.

Does it have air cond. because on my 94 f350 and air cond will make a clicking noise?

[randyswelding]

it does have it for now but the tickin is from the rear of the engine and the back side of the oil pan
