Ok the other day i changed my oil and i noticed oil on the oil pan. So i checked all of the bolts and there was 3 or 4 bolts that was loose so i tightened them up and no more leak but now i checked my oil and it went low and now when i rev my car up a lil the lifters tick on it. any suggestions??? its full of oil too. how can i tightn the lifters up. its on the far passenger side by the oil fill cap where the tick is

 

i took the valve cover off and looked and felt around and nothing seems loose or out of the ordinary. the head looks nice and clean... so idk w hat else to do.. with out taken it to a mechanic and spending lots of money and i dont want to do that. hopefully someone can help

 

If your have really loud valve train noise and you have the correct oil level and weigth here are some other thing that can make noise.

1low oil pressure do to
a cloged restrictor in the vertical oil passage.
b broken or cracked oil pick up tube

2worn valve guides

3worn rocker arms
a shafts
b lash adjuster pocket

4stuck/faulty lash adjuster

5rocker arm ears hitting valve spring retainer

 

its not that loud just like i rev it up to about 3 k and i can hear the noise inthe head. im lookn at getn another thead anyway. its been like this for awhile now so maybe its better off just the way it is.
