Strange squeaking sound

Post by jamal »

Lately my n/a 93 awd sedan has not been running it's best. I flew home for winter break, and haven't worried about it in a few weeks. Next weekend I'm driving from LA to Lake Tahoe, and am a little concerned.

Anyway, the engine has been running a little rough, and the left side has been a little noisy. There's a fast clicking sound, and a squeak comes from under the valve cover every few seconds. That's the best I can do to describe it, I'd like to record it somehow and post it on here. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.

Belt slipped a tooth? Shot hydraulic valve lifters? Lubrication problem on the head?

Midnight in a Perfect World on Amazon or order anywhere. The first book in a quartet chronicling the rise of a man from angry criminal to philanthropist. Midnight... is a distopic noirish novel featuring 'Duchess', a modified 1990 Subaru Legacy wagon.

Read the post about lifters. I think that's my problem.
