Ticking Noise After no Oil Pressure - Lifters? (Page 2/2) Raydar JAN 23, 03:27 PM Thanks for letting us know what's up. Lots of times, we never hear the result. Dukesterpro JAN 24, 10:45 AM I just wanted to follow up, make sure you are using a oil filter with good anti-drain back. That will help alleviate ticking on start up. My brand new lifters tick on start up, which I believe to be a result of bad drain back on my filter. willyt JAN 25, 11:10 AM Good point, I know there are quite a few threads on here about filters, but I'm honestly not sure which one I currently have on the car. Good thing to double check. reinhart JAN 27, 03:28 AM quote Originally posted by Dukesterpro: I just wanted to follow up, make sure you are using a oil filter with good anti-drain back.

Would you tell me the name of the filter that has this. A link would be even better! Thanks.
