Engine ticking *video*
Been posted about 4 hours out of town for the summer, so I've been doing a lot of long trips every other weekend. This past weekend, I noticed my battery was running low (still the oem battery) and I needed an excuse for a long drive. Drove into town for the weekend, bought a brand new battery, replaced it, drove back.
After my long 'roadtrip' back, sitting in the driveway idling, I noticed the motor ticking; sounds to be coming from the valve/head area. Thought maybe the oil was low, checked it and it's still full. I know these car's valves don't do well with high revving so I hope it's nothing major. I'm not even sure if the noise was there before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMIvU...18uZ9h56A-42tA |

Wow she's really ticking. These engines have motorcycle type shim under bucket valve adjustments. Which tend to hold adjustment a long time. They need to be checked every 60 k miles. Perhaps yours are loose although if they were, I dont suppose they would tick like that all of a sudden. So it might be something else like injectors.
Maybe someone else knows?
