Not any sludge buildup, nice and clean. Yay!

Can I start the van with the cover off? | | | Re: Help - Clacking in Engine | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 Maniac | Maniac Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 12,107 Likes: 37 | Yes. Oil will leak a bit, but it looks like it has been doing that anyway. I would cover up the floor and any interior upholstered bits near that side of the engine first.

That way you can see if the clacking noise is a rocker arm due to a failed lifter or loose bolt.
