M50 lifter tick?

Recommended Posts

Hey guys!

Looking at buying an e34 wagon with an m50b25tu. Owner sent me a video of it with the ticking engine which seems to be the only problem. He says it's lifter tick but it seems pretty loud and to me sounds pretty close to when my mate's bluebird got the ole rodnock. Maybe I'm just imagining things, but if anyone's willing to have a listen and give me their $.02 that'd be great.

This is very hard to tell from a video, but I don't think it sounds like lifters.  Maybe a timing chain slapping around in the case due to dead tensioner.  Need to listen to actual engine with stethoscope (or screwdriver up to the ear) to see where it is coming from.

Id say timing chain if i had to guess but the video is a pretty poor regardless. As above it should be easy enough to pin point in person
