Corsa B lifter tick?
Bought this corsa 3 days ago for my first car, so far so good very pleased with it!
Does have this annoying ticking sound though, car itself runs perfect, I know the noise is not terminal, theres plenty of oil and its a good colour and doesnt burn any.
Just wondering if anyones got a better ear than me to this sort of sound. I thought it might of been a blowing exhaust manifold or gasket?
Its belt driven so the corsa/astra/agilia chain rattle is out of the question
You cant hear it with the radio on or on the overrun. Isnt getting worse and is the same when hot or cold.
Car is a 1.4 8valve (X14SZ)

corsa 8v engines are known for ticking top end, tappets and cams wear on them , nothing to worry about but if it gets worse it will need new cam and lifters.
hydraulic lifters in them so no way to adjust them.
