Man im probably wrong but that sounds heavier than an lifter tic.

Subtle foreshadowing to this whole thread

Did the new piston make that sound go away?

Yep! not sure if the ticking sound was the lifters or if it was the piece of loose piston.

It's much quieter now when running and no more ticking. Sometimes I have a slight tick on cold start for 5-10 seconds but welcome to hydraulic lifters I guess lol. Could maybe fix with pushrod length but it doesn't seem concerning to me.

@thefrey When you consider what's happening inside the motor they can be expected to make a little noise

So long as you're using 5w30 or 0w30, just wait til the noise goes away before you put it in Drive.
If you want the engine to last longer, wait til 30sec AFTER the tick stops, then drive daisy for the next 5min til it's more warmed up,
and don't drive it hard til at least 15min after.

Older people and older engines need to be warmed up before really exerting themselves.

Yep, I’m using 5w30 and usually wait until it idles down before I put it in drive.

I always think that I wouldn’t want to immediately jump out of bed and start sprinting, so why would my car want to do that?
