Hey Mart==Generally just one valve ticking wouldn't cause a power loss. It deoends on what kind of car and engine you have. It could be an injector ticking which would cause a dead miss. GoodluckJoe

if you have a high mileage, and have never replaced your timing chain, then it may be time to do so, this brings back power and stop the ticking noise from valves in the engine. This can only be done by a Peugeot service professional. There could also be a possibility that the problem could be from the transmission or gearbox. You can find out yourself where the noise or ticking is coming from by accelerating at 1500 rpm, and clearly listening to the engine for a few seconds and releasing acceleration within intervals, maybe 2 to 3 times in 30 seconds. this should identify where the noise is coming from. Always get a professsional to check the problem, because these cars, once they have problem they become stubborn to understand.

What is that annoying ticking noise mustangs make when you change the oil?

The ticking sound is coming from the valve lifters. When the oil filter is changed, air is introduced into the system, which causes air bubbles to form in the oil. This causes the valve lifters to "leak down", which is what causes the ticking sound. It can take several days for the bubbles to dissipate. It's annoying, but harmless.

It's a rocker arm tapping at valve stem. Hydraulic lifters (hydraulic rocker mounts) are the common reason for the ticking. If it doesn't go away when the engine heats up, consider replacing the lifter where the ticking comes from.

What causes ticking in the engine of a 95 Saturn sl1?

The "ticking" sound that is most common among Saturn's is caused by a slightly expanded gap in the valve spacing. It could, of course, be something else, but that seems most common. If that's what's going on, it probably isn't worth much effort to repair. Valve clatter isn't typically a problem unless it gets severe.
