how's it going guys..... i have a problem and mayb someone could help me out
I recently had new lifters and heads put on my 95 camaro 3.4. I drove it for about a month and it started making this loud ticking noise. I checked under the hood and look at the belt tensioner and saw that it moving up and down with the ticks. The ticks get louder as i accelerate. Do you think the belt tensioner is the cause of that???

 

also to add on to this when i step on the gas it sounds like my car is misfiring. it doesnt happen all the time tho only once and then. i just want my car back to the way it use to run.

 

Might be. Though I believe most the time you'll get a squeaky noise. Could be internal also. You know if the lifters are solid or hydraulic on the 3.4?

 

they are hydraulic

 

Since the lifters have just been replaced, I would suspect one of them for being noisy. Not pumping up all the way. Who did the work?

 

a mechanic shop
so wat am i to do?

 

I'd take it back, and ask them what the noise is. Could be just the tensioner pulley.I'm just giving you my best guess without being there to listen.

 

alright thanks for the help.
by the way could the tensioner cause a loud poppin/ misfiring noise? cause i get that every once and then and ima gone head and change the fuel filter

 

I don't think it would make a noise like that. Not sure, I've never had belt tensioner problems. Most of what I know about them is hearsay.

 

u was sayin earlier somethin about one lifter
is there a way to check all the lifters and find that one lifter
