Default Ticking AND NOW Grinding
Well, I had the ticking noise, which is most likely a spun bearing (look at my other post here), but I had my friends check it out yesterday and what they found pissed me off. They noticed that when they brought the RPMs up, the ticking was, of course, still there, but now there was also a low-pitched grinding noise they couldn't hear at idle. Any ideas? I'm sure it's going to have to be machined now, but any help would be appreciated.

Maybe your bearing finally gave up the goat. Tough to say. You really need to get your car to a professional.

Mine did that and it ended up being a broken piston. Would tick and then kind of grind when the rpms went up. Hope yours isnt that serious.

Just rip it apart, and see what you did! Hell, half the reason why we mods our cars, is to break um, and figure out how to fix it....
