99 TJ Engine Noise
I own a 99 TJ, 4cyl, 145000km. It has started to make engine noise. It is
most noticable in the morning when it is cold. Is this just usual wear and
tear? Is it the lifters?
What do you recommend....leave it till it gets worse or get an over-haul
now? Any other course of action you would recommend?
THANKS!

Your going to have to do better than stating "engine noise", that's too vague.
Read this and tell us what the noise is like.

If you have a tape recorder and can make .mp3 or .wav files, make a small
one and post a link to it.

Re: 99 TJ Engine Noise
It's more like "tapping or ticking". Almost goes away when the car has been
driven for a while and is warm.

With your milage it could be a lifter or a sticky valve.
- How long has it been since your last oil change?
- What oil weight do you have in there? i.e. 10W-30
- What are the temperatures like where are you at? hi/low
Simply doing an oil change with a synthetic might eliminate that problem.
I've got to turn in.. something about getting up in the morning and having
to work. And it's not on my jeep either.. :( However, there are loads of
good folks here that can help.
Good luck.
