Just got this XJ last week. I'd like some help identifying the cause of my tick/knock.
Did a compression test (kept 5 of 6 plugs in while checking the 6th- turned engine over for about 5 seconds).
Results (psi):
Cyl 1: 145
Cyl 2: 145
Cyl 3: 125
Cyl 4: 145
Cyl 5: 130
Cyl 6: 135
Here's a video of the noise- it's hard to hear it from outside of the car, so I took video right next to the engine.
I'm also noticing a trickle of oil from the ccv tube going into the air filter. And by "trickle," I do mean "trickle." A drop or two over 200 miles.
171k miles. Oil pressure is 20psi when engine is hot (not warm), and goes up to 70 when revving.
