if there is no smoke coming out of the tail pipe and your oil has not change color(milky white) then your headgasket is not the problem. the sound you hear is your lifters. they are not lubricating properly. check your oil level and quality also pressure. if you are using 10/30 try changing to a thicker oil. depending on your vehicle's year and miles you may need that extra layer of lub that a thicker oil provides. try also getting an "engine lucas" check your auto parts store they should know what that is. this will help your engine lubricate better and quiet the noise down.(i've used it) ''drive your car for a few days/miles and you should notice the diffrence.''

What is the loud ticking sound when you accelerate when you have a bad head gasket?
I'm in the process of fixing a blown head gasket on my 1994 Pontiac Grand Am GT I'm pretty sure the clicking you're talking about is probably the sound of your engine missing.When coolant gets into the cylinders it causes the engine to misfire.If I were you I wouldn't worry about the clicking noise so much as the fact that you're driving with a blown head gasket and ruining your engine.I'd at least get some head gasket sealant from Autozone if nothing else.

What does it cost and whats involved in replacing a gasket in the engine block?
I take it you mean the head gasket. Head gaskets are pretty cheap, but the labor is high. If it is a V 6 or V8 you may have to do only one side. A lot would depend on what engine you have. I don't know if it is a car, boat or what, so it is hard to say what all is involved. You do have to remove the head from the engine to install a head gasket.

Can you use sealant instead of gasket for oil pan?
Some vehicles use just a sealant gasket at the front and back of the pan and a gasket along the sides. If your vehicle calls for a gasket your are better off getting one because it is a pretty minor expense. The whole reason for the gasket is that the manufacturer expects some pan flexing as the engine warms up. So...If you don't plan to keep the car very long maybe you can get away with it for awhile but it's really not worth it. I'd recommend you get the correct gasket. Good luck.
