Any ideas? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70124-strange-ticking-noise/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you removed the belt and started the engine,to see if the noise is still there with the belt off?

I wouldn't drive it much as (if this is the problem) can let go at any time. For your sake I hope it is not a bent rod.
