If it ticks like crazy, it could be your cam chain. If the cam chain is streached and the tensioner is at the max, it slaps up and down creating a tick.


Could be that, or your vavles. I would make sure wich one it is cause if its the chain you could jump teeth on your timing and bend your vavles.
