Thought Id give this one a try. Ive got a 4.2 liter normally aspirated inline six (two valve) toyota diesel in my land cuiser. AFTER I changed over to synthetic oil the engine started to "tick". This is the way it goes:
I start the truck and it sounds very normal. Within two to four minutes this "ticking" starts. Quiet at first, but once it starts within a minute or minute and a half its louder than the diesel engine its self! At first I thought it was a lifter, but the ticking sound follows the engine RPM perfectly. I dont have a tow rig and I dont want to drive it anywhere to get it looked at.
Thoughts. Any help would be appreciated.
