00 gt ticking

smokinv6 · August 26th, 2007, 08:21 PM

i went and test drove a 00 gt and from about 2300k-5000 it was ticking, but it was not very loud...could barley hear it. Are these known for valves ticking or push rods or lifters... are the 00 gts known for any of these. just trying to find out if it will be to much money to sink into the car

1stimeford · August 26th, 2007, 08:29 PM

if its making any kind of ticking sound, valves/lifters whatever, just walk away.Could be exhaust leak, but why risk it...Or take it to a mechanic first and have them check it.

1stimeford · August 26th, 2007, 08:32 PM

how many miles are on it and how much they asking for it?

smokinv6 · August 26th, 2007, 08:34 PM

63000 miles and want $9600 but said would come done to accommodate for the problem.. seems like a clean car other than that and been well taken care of...also its not an exhaust leak we looked at it close enough and the sound you could tell was lifter/valve

1stimeford · August 26th, 2007, 08:39 PM

IMO I wouldn't risk buying it...there are other deals out there

smokinv6 · August 26th, 2007, 08:40 PM

would that cause other problems if i replaced them or would that have caused stuff to mess up later on

1stimeford · August 26th, 2007, 08:40 PM

they could accomodate the problem by putting a heavier weight oil in it to quiet the ticking...you never know

HMUSN · August 26th, 2007, 08:40 PM

hmm...

have him stick a can of sea foam in it before you buy it.

if the guy really wants the sale he will spend the $15.00 to do it.

smokinv6 · August 26th, 2007, 08:41 PM

ok thanks for the quick help

smokinv6 · August 26th, 2007, 08:42 PM

what will the seafoam do to it

HMUSN · August 26th, 2007, 08:44 PM

it is a engine cleaner.

one of the best.

it'll cure sticking valves if thats the issue.

smokinv6 · August 26th, 2007, 08:45 PM

ok i knew that but didnt know if it did something else to it to show if he was hiding something...lol

HMUSN · August 26th, 2007, 08:45 PM

no .. it's good stuff though.

I would run a car fax on it too.

these cars also dont have liftters or pushrods
+1 on the carfax
you might see if it is jumpin fire somewhere to

bossman2kgt · August 26th, 2007, 09:22 PM

+1 on the exhaust leak. Could also be the fuel injectors.

i knew sombody would post that they arent lifters in the traditional sense and how can they be lifters when the cam is above it followers i think is a better term
