Engine Ticking 900

Hey all,

got a ticking from the engine. seems to come and go: sometimes I hear, other times I don't. Any ideas?

Sounds like a valve needs adjustment, but I thought the 234f had hydraulic lifters, thus negating the need for that?

Maybe a bum oil pump or leaking seal somewhere? It seems to be worse at idle, so maybe if I have a weak pump or some type of circulation problem, the oil pressure isn't enough for the hydraulic lifter?

Any ideas appreciated.... I'm gonna do the timing belt this weekend, so if I need a new oil pump, then's the time to do it while I'm in that neighborhood...

Thanks,
Fred
