Hi,
I have a 2000 528i,the engine is making a ticking noise and I am thinking of replacing the hydraulic valve. Do you think that might be the problem? __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: Pelican Technical Article: BMW Valve Cover Replacement |

Yes, the ticking noise is most likely coming from a sticky lifter. The trouble is figuring out exactly which lifter is sticky, and also to make sure it's not the VANOS unit. I would try changing the viscosity of oil from heavy to light and then back, as that might help to raise pressure in the lifter and reduce the noise. That trick has worked in the past for me.
