well it could be a number of things. assuming it's coming from the engine.... it's more than likely a valve or your timing chain and the associated components are getting worn out. witch would also result in ticking valves. especially if it has over 100k and the chain has never been replaced. first thing i would try is give it a fresh oil change and sub out one quart of oil for Lucas motor oil. it does miracle's! the best oil i have found id Valvoline max life synthetic blend. it's only $15 bucks at wal-mart and it's one of the best out there. especially for the price. If you find this doesn't help then it's back to the timing chain. If you aren't able to do the work yourself it'll be pretty costly. even if you do it's not cheap. I let my chain go and i ended up having to get a whole new motor!! once the chain goes the motor is worthless!! keep in mind that most repair shops do free estimates. Doesn't hurt to have a pro look at it! good luck!
