I want to make it clear that I rotated the engine by hand about 4 revolutions, no resistance. I put everything back together and started it up and I got what I think is a valve ticking, kind of on the loud side, I shut it down.

I'm assuming the t-belt is on correctly or it wouldn't have hand rotated. I'm thinking the car has sat for over a month, sticky valve??? I just bought the car a couple of months ago and haven't changed the oil yet, it needs it and is down about a quart, could this cause ticking? I haven't added a quart because I don't know what kind/viscosity the previous owner used, would it hurt to add some Mobil 1 10W-30?

Your guys have been so patient with me, and I've learned so much from you, I will become a financial contributor, on payday!
