My truck was stolen and i got it back .. i think they ran it out of oil cause of a leak i new about..
i made sure fluids were good and i started it up .. runs like normal.. drives like always..
but has a very loud ticking and chatter coming from motor
Oil pressure is great ..

i pulled off valve cover. On passenger side and rocker arms and rods seem fine . I can turn rods with finger but no play up or down seems tight enough...

tryed pulling spark plugs one at a time and seeing if the noise stops but still there...
? Thank for any help

in the process of the theft, they may have over revved the motor and did bearing damage at the bottom of the motor. it will need to be removed and inspected for the failure
