it could be a number of things. valves, fuel injectors, or even the rods. like in my case i had a bad ticking and loss of oil pressure. thats when the oil pump gave out.
no
Try to locate the ticking noise. Is it the engine? Is it ticking when you are driving? When you are sitting still? It could be as simple as a stone stuck in yoru tire, everytime it hits the road it ticks. it could be a lifter in the engine. Try to be more specific as to where and when the ticking happens.
Possible lifters that are bad that could explain your ticking noise. It should cost you nothing by stopping by an Auto repair shop and have them listen to your engine.
Could be a bomb but cant be sure without looking at it
A loud ticking sound near the engine could indicate a problem with the engine's valves or lifters. It's best to have a mechanic inspect and diagnose the issue to prevent any further damage to the engine. Ignoring the sound could lead to more serious issues and potentially expensive repairs.
"Engine temp is low 140 degrees" Bad Thermostat (stuck open) "a ticking noise is coming from the upper part of the engine" Lifters Make a ticking noise, To stop that there are these bags that fill with oil. If you run low on oil the bags don't inflate at you get a clicking. Check you oil level!!! The bags could be bad, the oil supply could be clogged, or something else could be wrong.
Could possibly be a bad lifter.
PULL YOU DIP STICK IS THERE ANY OIL SHOWING ? IF ITS TICKING AND KNOCKING YOU MAY HAVE BLOWN THE MOTOR .. GOOD LUCK
If you are driving the vehicle while ticking it could be that the engine mount is in poor condition.
motor mount could be bad or broken
it could be your oil sending unit
distributor. If you hear any knocking or ticking, that's another clue.
