Re: Engine ticking noise. Not sure if it was always there

Could you be a bit more specific:
Does noise vary with engine RPM's?
Does noise change as engine temperature changes?

Engine noises can be "heard" somewhere other than their source -- use
a piece of hose like a stethoscope (WATCH THOSE BELTS & PULLEYS!) to
pinpoint exactly where it's coming from.

Don't be afraid to second guess your dash gauges. They help, but
they're not the last word in diagnostic tools.
