Installed used engine and transmission… engine has lifter tick :(

2006 NISSAN Frontier

Bought this car off a feller for a few dollars, needed an engine and transmission. Picked up an imported motor, tranny, and ecu combo. A year later finally got around to installing it. Lifter tick so loud you hear it coming from a mile away. Anyways, how’s your day?

Yeah... so my subaru exploded its coolant... it's not what you think!

General content

I thought for sure my STI needed a head gasket but Jesse Graves discovered it was just the radiator that exploded after he ran some pressure tests on the system. I was a little excited to install ARP head studs but now I am happy to be saving my money.
