I'm trying not to let this concern me, but I thought i'd post just in case. My SVX has a single ticking lifter on the right bank. It only does this when the car is cold, and it goes away by the time the car reaches operating temp. My SVX only has about 40,000 miles on it, but was driven at least twice a week since it was new - Just short trips.
Once the roads get nice, i'm going to take it to the Subaru dealer and have the oil changed. Is it too late to switch to synthetic?
Is there anything I can do to quiet this lifter.
