Well not only did Possum beat me too an 11sec pass he was also correct, it was my boost solenoid ticking against my new plazmaman airbox.. Over the moon it's nothing serious but feel like a cock for not picking it up

I kinda have the same problem but when I acclerate a little bit it gets slightly louder do these have lifters tappets etc ?

Mine did this and I found out it was loose turbo bolts mounting to the exhaust manifold.

Hi guys, my '03 xr6t has just started ticking on idle and getting progressively quicker when revving the car.

I popped the bonnet and listened through a screwdriver to hear the source of the sound and found that it was coming from the thin tubing that runs parallel with the engine on the right hand side (if you're facing the car). I don't know much about engines but I think it is what the spark plugs are attached to. I've done a fair bit of reading on here and am hearing bend rods... Please tell me this is not what it is? I have to drive 2 hours home today and am worried that I will do more damage.

BTW, does anyone know of an engine diagram that I can point out exactly the part that is ticking?
