Default ticking noise
I got a 2002 Camaro Z28 has 71000 on it and no mods that im aware of. When i start my car I hear a ticking noise coming from the engine bay. I asked my neighbor what he thought and he was saying it could be one of the lifters or some **** idk. Any ideas? thanks for the help

If it only happens on a cold start and then goes away once it's warm, then it's just piston slap. VERY common with these cars. Don't worry about it.
