Well, just finished today with the TFI upgrade. Of course this was a time for my tune-up as well since the TFI upgrade changes everything anyways. Also changed the fuel filter, along with the hoses on either side of the fuel filter as they were cracked. Also replaced the PCV valve, as well as the hoses on both sides of that thing. Also replaced the hose that goes from the air cleaner housing to the oil cap (not sure what it does, but it was falling apart/almost clogged up inside)

Also went with a K&N filter...

The GW definitely runs a little smoother now, but I still have that ticking sound. I mentioned in a previous thread that when I pulled the plugs, plug #4 had black oily deposits on it. So I don't know if I still have a problem there (valves/Cylinder head..who knows)
But it still has that ticking sound. I'm hoping it's just an exhaust leak, but we'll see. I'll keep everyone posted as I will drive it more tomorrow.

Is the ticking get quite a bit loader when the engine is under load? Exhaust leaks are.

Yes, I think it does get louder under load.
