    Engine ticking

    Hey Gang-

    This ticking noise reveals itself during normal operating temperatures. My guess is the timing chain guides because I do have the rattling noise at start up but while its warming up, there's no ticking. I did manage to find a video on YouTube of a marauder with the same noise but the poster did not post a solution. Any advice would truly be appreciated.

    Make sure it's coming from the timing cover before you order all the parts.

    DO NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE YOUR CAR! If those timing chain guides are loose, destruction is eminent. Ask Steve what happens if you keep driving it....can you say all 32 valves?

    I've driven it a couple of times but after reading this, it will stay parked till I'm ready to fix it.
