87 Celebrity w/2.5 eng. 97k miles. The car runs very well, good power and 30 MPG, no misses, no knocks but sounds like I have loose tappets, or running without oil..oil topped off and does not use any oil. The engine is great but noisy.
"Experts" suggest Head job ($400) Cam & lifters
($300) Junk the car and cry myself to sleep..none of the above...HELP

Ya might want to pull valve covers and check for loose ones, i think you can run engine with cover off and see which one is making noise or looks loose, try torking to specs and see if that works, had same prob on 78' ford f100
