'98 F-150 6-cyl question
OK I got a now rusty '98 F-150 six-bang gasser pickup and I can hear some valve lash or lifters rattling a little, and wondered if you thought that was common - and what to do. Could it be "collapsed valves" on one cylinder? The boys kinda ruled out an exhaust leak already. Man I don't want to tear that engine down, but let me know whatchu think without seeing or hearing it. Only 69,000 miles, dang it, easy miles! Thanks.

Does it stop after a while or not. Sometimes the lifters will take a while to pump up on a Ford six.

Some upper lube oil like Marvel Mystery Oil or rislone(?)."Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.

Haha, a Chebby. But I sure like them no payments! Will try a quart of something to see if the lifters free up, and thanks for the advice. But yeah, it only happens when I give her the throttle, not a bad rapping sound but a nagging clicking. Nice beach truck, only been stuck once in it when the tide came up the the dunes ... lol, gotta watch them tide reports better!Comment

Put a quart of Marvel mystery oil in it for a 100 or so miles, then change oil to 40 wt. see if it helps.
