    Engine Ticking help?

    Can anyone give me a diagnosis?
    Do you think the valves need adjusting?

      wow that sounds extremely loud, lol you should probably start with a valve adjustment imo just to see if it disappears because that is most likely the cause.

          you need a 24v swap to get rid of the tick if it was ticking. Thats a little more than a tic ;) That would be a broken or a few broken rocker arms.

                    might be your rocker arm holding clip coming loose this happen to me before.

                    Ticking is bad, but not the worst I've heard.

                          Well that sounds even easier than just a broken rocker arm lol.
                          Pretty much it was driven to work and on the way there it started knocking, I guess either way it doesn't matter as long as the engine doesn't blow up.
