hey yall , i have been running my donor vehicle a 1989 ford ranger with the 2.9L v6 in it around my property hauling dirt and such , and ever since i
bought it it would tick at first start up and tick for about 1-2 minutes and then for the most part goe away , any ideas of what would make it tick ? , i've herd abit about oil passages in the upper end of the engine cloging and starving the upper end parts of oil and makeing them tick on the north american 2.9L V6s , it seems to run well once its warmed up , just wondering what it is and if its terminal to the engine , thanks for any advise on this topic
