Re: Ticking sound
If it is a ticking, then check your valve clearances.
Unfortunately valve clearances normally close up, if your is ticking coz the gaps are too big, you might have a proper problem (broken valve spring, bent valve, worn cam etc etc.). |

Re: Ticking sound
Is it only at specific revs, or across all?
Happens on mine from 4-5K revs (curvy)- have just decided that it's characteristic of the engine (a few others have reported it too). I only used to notice it if I went slowly up through or sat at those revs- if I rev hard, it's harder to hear. Now I've got a loud exhaust, I can't hear it.... |
