99 Intrepid engine noise

I'm hearing a rather obvious noise under the top of engine, sounds like
lifters? A clicking or tapping noise that goes with the revs of the engine.
Thought at first it might be the timing chains, but wouldn't that noise come
from the front? Anyway, wondering what might be and should it be looked at
immediately? Engine has 118,000 kilometers (73,000 miles) on it.

 

there's a TSB out on the 3.5s that state this very thing but its the
injectors making the noise.it depends on your engine

if you find something in there that are curious about most dealers will tell
you what it is if you give them the TSB number

 

Have you checked your oil level? If the oil is near the low mark that
engine makes a racket.

 

Just had oil changed about 3 weeks ago Art. Put some Wynn's cleaner in
today, will see if it quiets it down a bit.

 

If you haven't double check the oil level and if it was done by peanut
butter lube, I would get it done again with a good brand filter and known
oil.
