Alright alright, yeah, another ticking thread haha. I'm getting a fairly decent ticking from the passenger side. At idle it's a steady tick tick tick, when I give it some gas it sounds like it goes away. I don't think it's an exhaust leak since I tightened all the clamps on the exhaust last weekend and it doesn't look like theres black soot coming from around the headers. My guess is maybe a bad lifter? What do you guys think? Need video?

*Edit: It actually does tick faster as I rev it up more. I would say piston slap but it seems too loud..maybe spark plug or plug wire?

Yeah, a video would help. But just from the sound of it, my guess would be a lifter

Alright, video is right here. Not the best since its a little loud under there haha, but you can hear the ticking. Edit that it just kinda ticks faster as I rev it up a little

Man, it's really hard to tell from the video, but that sounds like a bottom end problem. Which wouldn't be a lifter. But again, it's really hard to tell.

That sure sounds like an exhaust leak, but it's hard to tell from the video.....

Yeah..Ill try and get a better one soon. Could it be a leak from the header and the noise is just transferring down?

kinda hard to tell but has your oil pressure changed recently or have you switched oils recently?

Seems like it might be running a little lower lately, I changed to 10w-30 last time I changed my oil a few thousand miles ago

I'll have to go check, coulda sworn I didn't have any!

Update: Low Oil light came on this morning so I put about 1/2 quart in and the tick got a little quieter..lifter going bad? or just low oil level?
