i broke down and bought a mechanics stethiscope.
Of coarse when i got home to check where the tick was coming from it was more quiet than it had been in months. Perfect excuse to get er' up to 90 in second gear.
when i got home the tick still wasnt that loud, but loud enough.
i chased it to the drivers front side where the cam gear is. It was loudest on the bolts on either side of the sensor. heres pics.
you think this is because it is the closest to the cam? The lifters would be ticking against the cam right?
(not sure what that sensor is either, but when i unplug it my engine dies immediatly)
