Ticking noise

["Phil" <hilljack7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A mechanic's stethoscope, with a probe , should do the trick. Also,
sometimes if you wave your hand, Carefully! around the exhaust manifold at
idle, if you got a leak, you can feel the exhaust coming out. The real fun
comes in when you have a lifter ticking and an exhaust leak!
