2003 Ticking but not quite like everyone else's ticking
Just had the oil pump, main bearings, flexplate, and a number of other bottom end "stuff" done to it. Have a gauge on it and oil pressure is good and strong. However about 100 or so miles after the work, it's ticking. Using a stethoscope I can tell its coming from the valves not the bottom end and it only ticks at idle and just above idle. By 1000-1100 RPM there is not a trace of a tick anywhere. Of course the shop is closed today but thought I would see if anyone else has this issue as well, with a new pump and solid pressure.
All the posts I can find always relate back to a broken oil pump. Well, mine is shiny new and working great with 20 PSI at idle.
I am a bit confused but maybe it's "just a Rover thing"... ?
