1996 m3. I drove the car hard for about 30 minutes and it seems that the hydrlic lifters are now making a ticking sound. I know its not the vanos, already been over that subject. A few guys from this site told me they experienced the same thing after track events, but the sound goes away. Its been a few days now. I added extra oil, someone told me to try that. Nothing is working. When I start the car I dont hear it until the car warms up. Seems like I damaged something. Any info would be great. Thanks

10w-40 or 20w-50 will get rid of alot of the tick even after hard use. I went to the dealership and they actually said E36 M3 is supposed to use conventional 20w-50 (NOT synthetic) but very few people actually run it, maybe thats why so many people complain about the ticking. my next oil change I will run 5W-40 or 10w-40 dyno oil.
