magaman, first off , i hope the deployment was safe. did you ever get around to fixing your lifter?

[Megamanpr]

@superfly1842 thanks superfly, i got back safe, and the problem was a leak in the back header, so i replaced my headers and it did the trick.

[superfly1842]

@Megamanpr wow! it sounds just like my car, i wonder if this is what's wrong with mine. I'm now excited I may not have to tear my car apart after all! thanks for the conc!

[Megamanpr]

@superfly1842 no problem, hope a quick fix :)

[superfly1842]

@superfly1842 it sounds just like mine before replacing my headers.

Was your car under warranty or did you pay for this? I have the same problem and I don't have a warranty. What was your cost?

@Megamanpr that's the same same noise and in the same place as my eclipse...how much did it cost u to repair?

It sounds like a sticking lifter. Use some Marvel Mystery Oil. That should help.

It's a valve train noise. It's very common in the 3G eclipses and stratus R/T's it won't damage your engine it's more of an annoyance. If you really want it gone they offer an improved valve train kit. Other than that you're fine

My car made that same noise but it started making that noise when i changed the spark plugs it turns out that a washer fell down the intake and was stuck on the valve so i just took it out with a magnet

[kasperjr2002]

I would actually put half a court of auto trans fluid in it if its a lifter it will fix it

[SuperBrit33]

What do you mean by the header? The exhuast manifold gasket? I've had the same noise - replaced cams/tappets/cam support, still no luck.
