> [@Dr.Stevil](#): > > is it internal? could it be the injectors? Subaru injectors are about as loud as a train. That is what I thought at first, but he seems to think there is a lifter tick problem on that motor. I haven’t heard of it before, but I have never had that problem i guess.? ---

Considering the impact the seafoam had, I am positive it is the lifters. It halved the sound, and I have yet to change the oil. I will be changing the oil tomorrow evening and will report back the impact that it had. ---

I had a terribly bad lifter tick in my Audi and I just used a little thicker oil and it seemed to quiet down. You could always try that Lucas stuff too. I have no idea about seafoam!? ---

seafoam is fucking sweet my vr6 had a super rough idle, ran some seafoam through it, the car stalled, i let it sit for a while, started it back up, got asked by my landlord to go somewhere else, enjoyed the smoke cloud. that shit rules ---

yea add some tranny oil and let it run in there for a few days, then change the oil. and a thicker oil wont necessarily fix the tick if the lifter isnt priming all the way bc its stuck with varnish or whatever. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lifter-tick-solutions/50843.md?page=1)
