Sign In Hi my dad has a 2001 mustang with a 3.8L V6 and everytime he starts it up the engine near the valve cover on the drvier side makes a clicking sound. It makes the noise for a minute of less or until it warms up then stops. Can anyone tell me what can be making tht noise plz??

Could be a weak lifter taking time to 'pump up'. How many miles on engine? Oil changes done, regularily?

Sign In well im not sure on milage but there are times my dad is late on his oil changes... could that be what gave him his problem? Is it something i can fix here at home?

Sign In favian; I'd recommend that he have the oil and filter changed every 2,000 miles for the next four or five times. I know that I'll take some heat over this, but tell him not to use any parafin based oil (Quaker State or Pennzoil). He may even want to switch over to a synthetic oil, like Amsoil. It's expensive, but so is an engine.
