That my friend is a lifter tick. Take the valve cover off and see if anything is broke

Damn... If I take the valve cover off, do I have to put a new gasket? There is absolutely no leak of any kind right now.
I want to take the top timing belt cover to see if it's something there. I can take that off without taking the valve cover, right?

That's what the old Fram filters sounded like after 1500 miles or so.

I have the OEM filter installed, in fact, I have always used OEM filter. Do you think OEM filter could go wrong?
