That would be a yes.

going to post a vid clip of my truck as soon as I figure how to, so you can hear if its the same noice as mine.
Good deal.
did it on stock manifolds & stock cats, stock manifolds & maggy high flow cats, LFP LT headers and high flow cats, havent gotten a chance to drive the new JLP catless full exhaust setup, but if its magically gone now, it may be a good targetOriginally Posted by RU55ELL
Go drive your truck today.
i could drive my truck if it werent up on jackstands lol. missing parts for the true-tracGo drive your truck today.
and there's probably a foot deep of mud and water outside tattoostuff's shop with all this rain! my truck aint movin til pry april 29th
BTW, the plugs didnt change the sound. It has to be exhaust. Hopefully I will get the time to go back over it this weekend.
My truck has recently started the ticking sound also. I took it to the place that installed my exhaust last year and he did a smoke test and said that it was not my exhaust or my cats. But when he listed with the stethascope (sp?) he said the ticking is coming from the lifters from #8 cyclinder. He thinks it is the use of the 5W 20 supreme oil that I use, he suggests either going to syenthetic or 5w 30.
Any help would be apprecitated.
2002 with 6lb lower, Violant CIA, plugs gapped .36, & magnaflow CB.
I use synthetic (Mobil 1) 5W30 and have the same noise. I was kinda thinking it may be lifters, but from what I understand "we have noisey valvetrains by nature".
So , have you ever had a melt down,,, Not nervous, l.o.l.
When I had my plugs melt and my detonation event... Ever since then I have a had tick ( not Amblyomma americanum),, Ether a value or a lifter. Any high rev not caught by the rev limiter or severe detonation could cause this problem.
Not saying this is your dilemma however, worth checking.
Edit; This can be narrowed out by doing a compression test, a good one . Removing all the plug's, disconnecting fuel relay fuse, whole shoot'in match kinda test....

Never had a melt down. The plugs that were in it when I bought the truck at 15K werent bad at all. It ticked with the stock plugs and it ticks with the TR6s that I have in it right now.
Could it be a bent Valve? I had a valve guide come loose and that was what I found after I went through everything you did.
Would there be any other evidence to look for to determine that?
Compression test.
my dad's 02 dsg and my 02 black both started making the ticking not too long ago...
if compression test is done, what are the parameters for each cylinder...???
thanx in advance...
