you need to check the following
one: you have a sufficient supply of oil (prefferably good oil)
and two: that your timing belt is not fudged... because mine was it started sorta ticking then i took it to the shop, it ended up being my timing was off and some other shit, so be careful not to run 'er into the ground..
it sounds like from what your saying tho that the lifters are getting insufficient oil flow to keep them from 'tinking'
yea...thats what i was thinking! I think that my timing belt might be off! Do you think the timing belt could come loose and make that kinda noise? Its weird because it only happens when the engine is cold!
