i have a 97 cobra..when you start it it makes a ticking noise..sounds like a lifter noise but i have just replaced the lifters,rockers,injectors and imrc box. i replaced the imrc box first and the noise was still there (could it be the imrc plates themselves??)..the car has a 4r70w in it so i didnt really want to loose anymore lowend by deleting them..so then we replaced lifters,rockers and injectors..they all looked fine but thought just incase..at idle it you can really hear the tick but if you bring up the rpm's a little it starts to go away..i dont know if anyone has heard of this problem or not but it is startin to t me off..any suggestions would be great and greatly appreciated
the car has cobra crank,eagle rods and je pistons..full mac exhaust..k-member..4.10's..msd wires..frame connectors and a baummanator for the tranny
thanks for any help, mike

Do you know where in the engine the noise is coming from. Do you maybe have a small exhuast leak?
