Valve tick/slap compression loss
Cart runs great until it gets hot,then what sounds like a loud valve tick starts and motor slows to a crawl,let I cool and runs fine again. Cooling fan checked,oil change,etc. seems to be heat related. Fe350 motor any ideas would be appreciated

Re: Valve tick/slap compression loss
The FE350's have hydraulic lifters... one, or both could be collapsing when it get's warm!
You could try an engine oil cleaner/flush with fresh SAE30 oil and oil filter to see if it helps! It's just a guess...  |

Re: Valve tick/slap compression loss
No need for a rebuild, this is common and an easy fix.
Drain out about 1/3 of the oil and put in marvels mystery oil. Drive the cart normally and it will be fixed. It's not in the cylinder head. |
