when customers come in for late maintenance, at our bmw dealership, a quart of ATF fluid is ALWAYS used in an engine flush. it's run for 10-15 minutes, then drained and filled with normal oil.Comment

ATF works well as a flush.Originally posted by lifeiskaos View Post
But there is this stuff made by BG (Petrospecs) called "109" it's the shit.I'm Not Right in the Head | Random Rants and other Nonsense1st Order Logic Failure: Association fallacy, this type of fallacy can be expressed as (∃x ∈ S : φ(x)) → (∀x ∈ S : φ(x)), meaning "if there exists any x in the set S so that a property φ is true for x, then for all x in S the property φ must be true".Comment

You are only supposed to run the ATF for a short period of time to clean up the engine, then you flush it out. I would never leave the ATF in the engine between oil changes like one guy said above. I'd wait no longer than a day to flush it out.Originally posted by vivalegreg View Post

Lifters may only be a contributing factor to your ticking woes. I would suggest replacing all lifters and camshaft bearing ledges (that's the part that the cams sit in and the lifters ride up and down in). On higher mileage engines w/ less frequent oil changes scoring can usually be seen on the lifter side surfaces and the bearing ledge bores. Often times during cold starts or low engine r.p.m.s the lifter (for lack of a better word) tilts a little bit in its bore causing the noise you are referring to. I n severe cases it will actually cause a misfire during cold starts as the lifter sticks in its bore.
Just my 10 cents from experience.
On another note, if you decide to do as I stated, take a good look at both camshaft bearing surfaces for scoring. Maybe it's a good time to install some bitchin' cams.
Oh, and don;t forget to use plenty of assembly lube. I recommend Redline assembly lube. http://www.redlineoil.com/products_c...ubCategoryID=7Comment
