[QUOTE="Blaine, post: 7094450, member: 36571"] /shiver.. Engine ticking... noooooooo. I had ticking on my 03 Cobra. Forums said it was my heads ticking due to the early release crappy coolant flow. Well bought new revised heads and a built short block since the motor was coming out any way. Found that the bottom of one of the pistons that connects to the rod was BROKEN IN HALF!!! /cry My engine was a giant ticking TIME bomb. Luckily I didn't ignore the tick or my engine would of just went BOOM!:read: THIS is the worst case senerio!!! BUT ITS POSSIBLE EVEN FOR FORGED PISTONS. .......and my car was stock with only exhaust and intake with custom tune. Sorry to be a bearer of possible tick sources. But alot of the complaints is nothing more than the noisy injectors.

SOURCES OF TICK 1) worn valve guides (common in TERMINators) 2) Header leak 3) Noisy injectors 4) Crap I had happen Your tick sounds just like mine did. But so do the other ticks.
