[DML] Re: Loud Ticking Noise

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I would recommend you take off the valve cover and inspect it even 
though it could be a blown exhaust manifold gasket. A valve adjuster 
may have been loosened or you may have broken a valve spring. Whatever 
it is - you should try to locate the problem before it potentially does 
some damage.
