I have a bit of an engine ticking noise. I don't know if it is a bad ticking noise, or a normal ticking noise. Sounds a little like a loose valve maybe? It's sort of high pitched, like a cross between someone tapping on a bellhop's bell and a squeak. I have posted the world's most boring youtube video in the hopes that someone here can tell me that it falls within the realm of normal:
Ticking engine video I adjusted the valves last night and found a few that were a bit out. No real improvement though. It's a little hard to hear over the exhaust noise. At speed it definitely ticks along. I don't have an engine pad in place. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Thanks for any thoughts |

Get under it and check for an exhaust leak. My FAT Performance engine has sounded like a thrashing machine since it was new and runs great. Your sounds quite nice actually. However I have had a "ticking" noise and it did indeed turn out to be an exhaust leak. Good luck.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) as usual I have to agree with Elliot. Sounds really good but I think I hear a bit of an exhaust leak.

Pretty much what mine sounds like and mine runs good. Valves have been adjusted by people who know what thet are doing and I look after my maintenance the best I can. happy motoring!
