Hey guys hows it going first post here. Posting this up for a friend he has a 2.4l 6spd manu recently been noticing a odd clacking/ticking sound right at a certain engine load especially noisy in 1st and 2nd but can be replicated in any gear if you give it JUST the right amount of throttle. If you free rev it just right clutch in or out I can hear clattering and it sounds like it's coming from under the valve covers.
Checked the oil looks decently clean he does 5k oil changes and full. Tried to narrow it down to a heatshield but it sounds more in the area of the lifters.
I am assuming the lifters are adjustable? He is going to bring it to the dealer I am not going to get my hands dirty on a car under warranty unless I have too
Any input would be much appreciated, thanks guys!
Also I should mention the car has upwards of 40k km.
