Tonight i was driving without the radio and i got on it a little bit, 1/2 to 3/4 and i noticed there was a ticking sound that went with the rpm.I havent really noticed it to much before. When i rev in park, it doesnt really do it. Do you think im hearing valve tick or something else with the motor.
 


I have this same thing going on on thats what i think ita a lifter of something. I ran seafoam and its still making the noise. And this is whats stopping me from dropping pulleys :(
 


same thing in my car. It started ticking in my car after i put on a new intake. when urs ticks is it inbetween 2-3 rpm?
 
Eh the tick goes with rpm but only under a load and over 2500rpm. In neutral it wont tick, or barely at all. What would that oil stabilizer do? I just literally changed my oil 2 days ago, mobile 1 10w30.
 
Because if you put the oil stabilizer in and it quiets down then it is a valvetrain related noise.
 
yea mine goes away on heavier throttle, i used seafoam and still have it, could it be an injector? I heard those will tick
 


another problem these engines have is connection rods breaking. but the noise is more of a clak clak clak and you dont notice it under 2000 rpms then gets loud. had this problem in my old bonneville and and connection rod eventually came out the side of the block!
 
itll be hard to hear because of my loud ass slp exhaust. but if it goes with rpm, it might be it? I mean anything ticking coming from the motor isn't good right? And im buying oil stabilizer tomorrow even though its 5 days fresh.

Then you needed the right foot delete mod.
 


i assume it means keep your foot off the pedal..lighten the load... i have similar ticking.. i believe it's an exhaust leak from the egr, so I'm going to delete it.. if that doesn't work, then I guess I'll start saving for a new motor or a rebuild
