Hello, Last week i replaced valve cover gaskets and gave the jeep an oil change. Everything seemed ok, till a few days ago when i noticed that upon cold start i get this weird ticking noise from the back of the engine and a few minutes later it goes away. From under the car its audible between the engine pan and trans and from top, the valve cover towards the rear.
I though it was the exhaust/manifold at first, i checked it, there are no leaks holes or hitting sections. I also checked the flex plate bolts and they are pretty tight. Oil Pressure seems alright as well. The only thing i can think of is i used 5w30 oil this time because that's what i had, but i usually 10w30, can this even remotely cause this ?
Suggestions, ideas appreciated...
Thanks.
Pete
