1998 Range Rover p38. Engine is smooth and runs fine but i have this constant clicking noise that i can hear when im at a stop. Any ideas? im thinking its a lifter but cant be so sure? thanks

 

Check the seal between the header and y-pipe. I thought it was a lifter too, until I was under there (trying to pinpoint the noise with the truck running) and felt the exhaust leak.

 

Thanks, ill get up under there tomarrow and check it out. If thats the case how much is this a costly repair? (time and money)
Thanks again

 

Not sure what it would cost to replace headers and y pipe. All I did was tighten everything up. Unfortunately I am missing most of one stud on the header so I can't tighten the nut much without feeling like it will strip the stud. I have not fixed it totally yet. I just deal with the slight tic for now.

 

What oil are you running? I had a ticking noise, changed the oil to 10w40 (it was running 5w30) and it went away.

 

Yea im running 10w40, i think its a seal but have not had the time to get up under there and look. Thanks for the help
