ticking eh? you have a ls1 my friend
might wanna check for exhaust leaks too, the headers tend to blow out the gasket

 

bump !

 

if you have headers, check the bolts..

oh yes.. this reminds me why i hate headers on a daily driver... ******* ticking.

 

so any ideas i checked over the motor it seems like its underneath the intake but not sure

 

bump please help!!!!!!!!!!
