2 things you can do: Permanent fix: revised 3g lifters Temp fix: Dump a can of engine restore. It's in a silver can and available at most auto parts stores.

One other thing to try. Factory Mitsu oil filter. the ChicagoDSm guys swear by it. Aftermarket filters seem to produce lifter tick where the dealer ones have a better flow or something.

Agreed. I only run Mitsu filters (specifically the 'big' one, pn ending in 116. I usually get free ones with big orders.
