Default motor bout to go boom bitch??

my motor has several miles on it 130K almost!! anyways sometimes i will be driving then a loud ticking noise comes from the engine bay, i pulled my oilk cap off to see if i could feel any exhaust coming out of there, ( cracked piston) but i felt nothing, if i pull up to a stop sign or i stop, it goes away, then it will come back sometime later

Probably a lifter or something. If the sound goes away at idle, that's usually what it is. A lifter is probably collapsing under load at RPMs above idle.

Yup, lifter; happened to me with my '85 IROC, I put just over 200,000 miles on that car. My wife and I have 145,000 on a '93 TA, but no "boom bitch" yet.
