Default ticky ticky ticky
Well, hope it's just a loose rocker. Kind of sounds like it. We'll see tomorrow night if I get the time to pop the valve cover.

I heard a ticky ticky and it turned out #3 piston was gone.

Yeah, but that was a Ford.

Is the car missing or does it just have a tick? How loud is the tick?

I heard a screech in the Cobra a couple days ago when pulling up to a light and then smoke came out from under the car. I already know it's the throwout bearing because it's been making noise and getting louder the past couple weeks. Now I have to pull the trans and install a new one. I just hope it didn't do anything to the pressure plate.

Guy and I have decided that Ford needs to hire us to test their vehicles.

Is it muffled? If not it might be an exhaust leak. If so, dump a quart of some cheap ATF in your engine and run it for a week to break up the build up (I'm thinking lifter). ATF has a high detergent content. Then put some decent synthetic oil in there (not Rotella, haha).

It is not particularly loud, but gets a little louder with engine load it seems. The rate is regular and goes with the RPM. It is a relatively higher pitched metallic sound, like tapping on a tin plate with a fork.
