TicK Tick Tick
Just recently my 95 w/246,000kms, automatic, started to have this light tick/tap sound coming from the top of engine area which increases with revs and then disappears. Thinking rockers I changed oil (20-50w) and added lucas oil treatment(old oil had about approx 3000 kms on it 10-40w). It seemed to quiet it down but wondering if this is a sign of something coming and/or what should I do as preventive maintenance.

If you are adding a oil treatment to your oil then you are actually reversing the properites of the oil.
Car maintenance bibles: Oil Additives
I would switch to a highly detergent motor oil to clean out any sludge you might have built up.

Hmmmm.....I guess it COULD be the tappets, and time to rip the top apart. Of course, it could also be an exhaust leak, like mine, that makes the exact sound, and was corrected in 15 minutes with my welder....
