Ticking noise from engine

[Riley Bennett]

Hi guys, just about to convert na+t but have come across a slightly concerning ticking noise. I’m unsure of what it is and where it comes from so any thoughts or suggestions appreciated. It speeds up with revs and just when slightly accelerating get really loud and can feel it through gear stick. It’s constant and has a 1 second gap between each time it ticks. Quite literally sounds like the word tick.

Best to try and isolate where the sound is coming from by either a stethoscope or a long flathead screwdriver touching different parts of the engine and the other end with your ear against it.
