Another is it a lifter, manifold leak or other question.
83000 k on a Hemi sport. Things were going well, but recently, within the last week, when I start the truck cold, I could hear a faint tick. I can only hear it from inside the cab and when I listen outside of the cab, I can't hear anything. Troubling thig about it is it'***** or miss whether it happens or not on cold starts. The only reason I'm asking this question is because at certain times, when engine is hot, if I take off, the noise I get is almost a pinging noise from the engine like its not the right fuel or the engine is overloaded.
I'm contemplating resetting the computer as most of daily driving in stop/go traffic and the eco mode is quite often on due to slower traffic etc. It hasn't been shifting and performance that I had when I first got it. It's learned my driving habits sadly.
Anyway, I'm trying to decide whether I should be getting concerned. I checked oil levels and I get regular 8k oil changes with house oil and filter. I'm in Canada, and I'm not sure if I can get Redline where I'm located in Saskatchewan.
Lastly I noticed the other day that the passenger side manifold area is lightly covered in oil.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
