Hello all
I have a 1982 pickup that makes a ticking, or clacking noise that goes faster in sync with the rpms, after the truck warms up i dont notice it, it isnt quite as loud, does this require attention?

this is probaby your valves its normal but they should be adjusted every time you change your oil

Sorry to nitpick, but I just can't understand the r22 thing...I see it on craigslist all the time. I mean, if you've opened the hood of your truck, it's clearly 22r. My apologies if you're dyslexic...

Could very well be that you need a valve adjustment, but I'd check the timing chain guides too, just to be sure. You don't want that thing breaking or eating a hole through the time cover...bye bye engine if that happens.

The valves could be a little loose. Nothing wrong that though, it's better to have them a little loose than too tight.

Just pop off the valve cover and check the valve's and timing chain and guides. I don't get the r22 thing either, weird.

Well I call it an r22 'cause I don't use motor oil in it, I charge the motor with FREON every 3,000 miles.
