On cold start up my truck makes a loud "tapping" sound. While sitting and idle the tapping fades and can barely be heard. One trip around the block and the tapping is back. Could it be the lifters or the oil pump? Would an engine flush help?
I have heard various stories, Hemi "tick" is due to shorter lifters, maybe the injectors, or that it is a normal Hemi thing. It just doesn't sound like something functioning normally. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
