Hey, I own a 1994 Mazda B4000 with a 4.0... recently i have developed a tick which i presume is the famous valve tick that these motors are famous for... I'm not sure if it is for sure, it ticks on start up and increases as you rev the engine... once the motor reaches operating temperature the tick goes away... but over time the tick has seemed to increase in severity... instead of lasting a minute it seems to last 10, and is noticeably louder... if it is the valves, what do you recommend???? and also i know of a rebuilt 4.0 that came out of a 1991 ranger that i can pretty much get for nothing, is this the same motor and is it just worth swapping motors if it fits?
