Okay I posted about a month and half ago that i had a ticking noise coming from the engine, but i didnt get very many response. Well I took the car to the shop and they said that they wouldnt be able to say what the problem is untill they started tearing down the engine, but the did rule out a spun rod bearing. Here are the symptoms: runs fine while cold, but once it worms up the idle surges when stopped, loud rattle/chattering sound @2K+ rpms under exceleration. I tried to listen to see if the sound was coming from a head but it sounds to me like its coming from inside the engine. Plz help, all opinions are welcome..
