A ticking noise when you first crank an engine can indicate several issues. It may be related to low oil pressure or insufficient oil reaching the engine components, which can cause lifters or valves to tick until oil circulation normalizes. Alternatively, it could be a sign of a loose or worn component, such as a timing chain or belt. If the noise persists or worsens, it's advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to prevent potential damage.
If it makes the ticking sound and the engine will not crank, then either your battery is dead or the starter solenoid is shot.
Could be a weak oil pump. The reason it is ticking is that the oil is not flowing to the lifters when it's cold. It's not that big of a deal.
the ticking noise is a small exhaust leak close to the exhaust headers or exhaust pipe near the engine.
Take it to a mechanic
The ticking noise is the metal cooling.
The fuel injectors make the ticking noise you hear at startup, especially when the engine is cold (colder temperatures).
if ticking noise is in engine, u most likely have a worn hydraulic lifter. check oil for correct volume and viscocity
yes, my 2000 grand prix gtp is losing power and makes ticking noise.
My 2006 TT-R has a slight ticking noise. BTW the bike is almost brand new, almost 10 hours on it.
from which part of your engine is the ticking noise coming from. if is the TOP it would most likely be lifter noise.try using a thicker oil.
Is it a lifter ticking?
