Title: Engine tick? Searched, but still unsure
Post by: JeepManMarc on January 22, 2007, 03:09:03 PM

I have a 1997 Wrangler SE with 68k miles, and it ticks especially when you first start it up, as the engine warms up it starts going away.  I have been told this is normal and they all do that but I was unsure so I figured I would ask.  When I did a search this is what i came up with, nothing real specific:

Thanks in advance for any help

its normal the oil pump hasn't pumped oil up too the valves yet, every jeep does it, some are just louder than others

Tis true what you were told, they all do it. My 2000 sport did it also... right off the showroom floor! But I don't own that one anymore.  :cry:
