One other thing. Pulling off valve cover and oil pan. No sludge. Pretty sang clean. If its clogged lifter its dirt, carbon, or flakes of bearing material.

Sorry I will try to respond to all the replies and thank you in advance for all the great info. I will pull the valve cover back off and make a new video with valve cover off in the next couple of days. The sea foam treatment, vac gauge, video with valve cover off, pics of rockers & push rods...

Sorry keep posting need more people to check out this video.

Was it easy to start? Any teeth missing? Sorry I must have mis-read the post. Keep it from running I was thinking about keeping it from starting. My bad.

What I really want is someone who has experienced this noise before, and hopefully fixed it. "You can't always get what you want" :)

Yea thats good all except for the cork valve cover gasket. The rubber molded are expensive, but well worth it.

Definatly not lifters just had the lower end apart to put in new bearings. Felt the lifters from the bottom while the upper end was ticking. Can not feel the tick in the lifters. Just the Push Rods, Rockers, and Valve Springs. Feels strongest at the valve springs. I pretty much know I am going...

Maybe if it was moving around enough and damaged the tone wheel, teeth on fly wheel, or starter gear.

if any of them are bus wires yes. Not sure if rear hatch has power locks never owned a XJ with power locks. But if the rear hatch has a power lock definatly could cause a problem.

Yea my 90 has extra connectors right there too. It has even more behind the instrument panel.

No it will do it cold. I can get it to make the noise just turning it over by hand.

Ignition system is all pretty new major tune up about 10k ago. Antifreeze uh yes. No it will do it cold. I can get it to do it just turning it over by hand. Gets louder and takes longer to stop ticking after I shut it down when its hot. Can not even hear it with engine running. Unless you...

If it is the overhead. Unplug it and see if the code goes away.

Sorry any one have a chance to look at video yet?

http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1062496 this thread has tests for Cam and Crank Sensors. But sense its intermittent it will only test bad after it had died. That is for a H.O.

I have had problems with a few Reman starters especially Cardone. A brand new one over a Reman is your best option, but it will cost you a lot more.

I would pull back the rubber flex boot by the door hinges and see if you have any broken wiring there. Those harness tend to flex when the doors are open and the wiring will break. I doubt its the switch sounds more like a wiring issue. I have never heard of a door lock switch bringing down...

Also Reccommend Cleaning IAC motor & T-body, but it sounds like more of a Crank Sensor Issue.

I would guess Crank Sensor. When It dies wiggle Crank Sensor wiring and see if it starts back up.

Pretty sure I have eliminated lifters, Push Rods, Rockers, Great Oil Pressure. Leaves me with carbon build up on valves, Valves, Springs, Or Guides?
