[@DanneyTanner]

As veteran mechanic on noisy valve trains....Before you tearing your engine apart to do this..Make sure you have plenty of oil pressure.Low oil pressure will make valve train rattle.If your not sure if enough pressure then add 1 quart of auto trans fluid to your oil and drive the car for couple days to see if the problems goes away..If it dont then change the oil and put 1 grade thicker oil in it and still add 1 quart of auto trans fluid.Then drive for a couple days agian...Sometimes the oil pump and or lifters get a varnish in them and they stick and dont function properly making extra noise due to lack of oil flow.The auto trans fluid has additives in it that wash the varnish away from the parts.

[@samuelcartledge3200]

its usually already marked but yes good practice

[@jordankendall86]

Thanks for sharing. I didn't understand fully why the noise was happening. Is it because the valve lifter was worn out, meaning the thickness of the metal is worn down which creates space for the tapping sound? I just could not see from the video how to tell if the valve lifter is the main or only source of the tapping. Comparing a new valve lifter to a worn out one that needs to be replaced would have been more helpful.

@Trainwheel_Time , you can't add a shim to each lifter to bring it up to the required gap. You need to buy a new lifter. If I'm wrong, please let me know. There is a formula that let's you work out what lifter/thickness you will need to order from dealer.

What causes rattling noise at 3k rpm or higher but not heard below 3k rpm? My guess is the timing chains.

[@kaiser98berlin]

Though I don't know about a car but I do own a bike and meddle in their forum you might be right. It could likely be the timing chain and the timing chain tensioner or CCT cam chain tensioner is the issue. Pretty common for bikes to fail and show such symptom like you said. Changed mine from an auto to manual CCT and the slapping noise is gone. Downside is I gotta tension it every 10k km. For cars you can only get the automatic original.

[@chriss4365]

@@kaiser98berlin that sucks my trucks engine does this that's gonna be a job to replace the tensioners.

[@kaiser98berlin]

@@chriss4365 hey I might be wrong. It could be valve lifters that need Valve clearance adjustment as shown in vid then changing your CCT alone won't do. The Best method is find a flat head screwdriver 🪛 put your ear on the handle end and place the flat end on various parts of your engine to find the source of sound; Play doctor. Trust me this will save you lots of headache and helped me during my motorcycle repair. It's easier for a car compared to a bike. If your Truck runs on rubber belt for timing then it's likely not the CCT or timing belt noise instead it squeaks from the worn bearing. If it runs on metal chain then its possible to be this issue, it resides inside the valve cover running along the cylinder blocks and for some the CCT can be shown outside the block. Probe those parts and sooner or later you can hear where the sound comes from.
