I have read every "ticking sound " thread over the last couple days.
Here is what I have going on.
Cold start loud ticking sound towards the back passenger side of the engine.
After about 60 secs it settles down and you cant really hear it.
Out on the road when I gas it the ticking comes back and is correlated to the amount of throttle. Once I let off the gas the ticking slows as the Jeep slows down. NO gas no ticking. Great oil pressure and great compression.
This is a newly rebuild engine. I'm really trying to figure out if its lifter noise or exhaust leak. What I've read it sounds like exhaust but after many hours moving both the tube to ear and stethoscope around I cannot find a leak. I also took valve cover off and tighten the bridge bolt. Just a hair. They all felt tight.
In the am I'm going to put a new gasket on the choke tube and the other emission thing (name escapes me).
I did have new exhaust put on. The tick started a few weeks after that. I did check around the Y-pipe. Seems normal. If I know I would not cause any damage I'm thinking about driving it to my builder shop and asking them to diagnose and I will do the work to fix.
I will keep you posted. Thanks
