Lately I've been hearing a slight ticking coming from the drivers side valve cover. At idle she ticks softly but as I start rolling and begin picking up speed I hear this thrashing noise that sounds pretty bad. The motor also shakes like I'm running on 5cyl's after it warms up. Detonation has been with this car since I bought it. Changed plugs, wires, EGR valve ran 100oct gas with no effect.
My conclusion is the rocker arm assy, lifters and/or pushrods are the culprits here. My problem goes to anyone who might had something similar going and corrected it or anyone with some insight. I just what some direction as to what to look before I start pulling parts. Know what I mean?
Also living where I do makes it difficult to even do a oil change so I have to choose my jobs wisely. Thanks!
