ticking noise 12v cummins
Ok so recently I started to hear this ticking noise in my engine as it ran. Its not a knock. Its a tick. And you can hear it through the exhaust. And it only starts after 5 seconds or so after the engine is started.
So I start the truck up. I can hear the turbo making a slight spool as it idles. And after 5 or so seconds the turbo spool dies out and this ticking noise starts and it goes til I shut the engine off. And if i start it again after the engines hot the ticking noise starts immediately. I hear it could be valve adjustment time so I got a stethoscope and poked the valve covers and 4 5 6 sound pretty gnarly. But I dont see how this would kill the turbo sound and ticking noise would pick up after a few seconds. Also checked the lift pump and I about went deaf. Its quiet loud but also heard this wont hurt a think as long as I keep a eye on the fuel pressure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
