ok so i have a 94 ranger w/ the 4.0 4x4. now the engine ticks. i kno its a common problem but i would like to kno how to fix it. it comes and goes while the engine is running. but when its hot i can barely hear it.
what is causing it to tick like this? i kno its valve train related. could it be just loose rockers? someone told me it is the clearance between the pushrods and the rockers because of bad oil flow through the pushrods? would i just replace the pushrods? or would it need new rockers too? lifters?
any help is appreciated.
