Hey guys, ive got a ticking noise thats increasing with rpm. Thinking its a bad lifter. You guys had any luck with engine treatments? Just looking for some small improvements/ temporary fixes before I tear into it.

If it is a stuck lifter you might try Seafoam. Search YouTube, there is a guy who got a rough running Ranger into pretty good shape with it. I have no personal experience with it however. Of course if the lifter is bad it will need replacing.
 

jeeeep

mine sounded like you describe, turned out to be a cracked exhaust manifold.

I used a mechanic's stethoscope to figure out which side it was ticking on then pulled the manifold shield and sure enough, cracked.
