whats up fellas? Im new to this but I have been reading here for awhile. I just bought a 97 gt and i have noticed a ticking sound when it gets warm and it gets louder under minimal exceleration, but goes away with medium exceleration but then it comes back. I thought it had a exhaust leak but i had it checked out and that wasnt the problem. Anyone have the same problem, let me know

the motor is about to blow...............




no seriously sounds like either lazy lash adjusters and/or excessively worn followers. I am in the middle right now of replacing my lash adjusters and inspecting the followers.
