ticking
 

Hello all, I have a 2002 ranger w/a 2.3 stick it's doing alot of ticking lately any one know what this is? I just changed the oil and plugs/wires not that has any thing to do with it because it has been doing it for a long time now. It sounds like lifters or someting to me. Is there any way to get rid of it? And is it hurting anything? Thanks!!
