New Jeeper, got an annoying noise
Hey guys, just to let you guys know I FINALLY HAVE A JEEP! So yea I'm new here and found an a pretty good xj for the price on craigslist. I've been doing some maintenance and my jeep has that annoying tick that many people say comes with the jeep 4.0 engine. However there's many things I've heard can be the issue: lifters, valves and of course the exhaust manifold. I've run seafoamed and it seemed to kinda help a little but not really. I just changed the oil and add marvels mystery oil and that kind of helped too but not much and then I went offroading and well now it's louder than it's been haha but here's a video I took of it. Can anybody help me???

Well it is a lot louder then when i first bought it but i mostly i can only hear a little metallic sound which i dont even know if thats the mani fold.
Not worried about it too much but keeping my eye out for a new manifold.

Alright thanks. Just making sure your talking about where the exhaust manifold runs into the exhaust pipe? Not any part coming directly off the motor?
