Hi! Working on an old project boat with a mercruiser 2.5 engine. I've been bashing my head recently on a tick that's being produced by the engine.
The tick seems to be coming from the left side of the engine, close to the camshaft and lifters. I've already adjusted the valves, cleaned all hydraulic lifters and checked if the tick is also there without the fuel pump.
Nothing seems to be work and I'm pretty much at the point of lifting the engine and opening up the oil pan to see if there's anything suspicious.
Before doing so, is there anyone here that recognizes this sound and can point me to something? Thanks!
