I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

That looks like a ghetto way to do it. Wouldn't recommend. Best to do it right and take of the timing belt.

My car started to make a similar noise, only not so loud.
i can hear it with the windows down and rolling, but when parked and the hood open, i hear it lower than urs.
I went to pick up my dipdtick just now , and i went dead... the engine is oilless !!
This was all my fault, i trusted my recent head gasket change would solve the oil burning, it shows it did not solve anything... and now i have somekind of a knock ...
Allright, im gonna get an oil cannister and fill my car up, if the noise remains, what have i ruined ?
helpy helpy, bj ten dolla

Being low on oil makes your lifters noisy. Fill it up and it should go away.

First of all...least helpful post in memory. -->
Fill it up, keep an eye on things and if it starts to burn oil excessively in the next bit you'll have your answer.
If you ran it for a while with very low oil level it's likely that most of the articulating parts got some extra wear as a result. But honestly...I had this happen as well and on a well made engine it's not the end of the world. I lost my oil drain plug once on a 83 civic I had and drove it 20km before I knew there was a problem. that car went another 50,000km after that.Mikitu wrote:Being low on oil makes your lifters noisy.
