THe mechanic you spoke to is a smart guy. Lifter is usually the problem. Try running Lucas through your oil and see if that stops it. Otherwise... Have fun fixing it =P

Hmmm...I wonder if your mechanic is a smart guy? Did he really say timing belt, or are you repeating what you thought you heard? It has a timing chain, not belt.
And, noisy fuel injectors can sometimes fool one into thinking it''s the lifters. A trained ear can tell the difference, with the injectors having more of a clearer clicking sound.
