I have a ticking noise, heard loudest from under the car on the drivers side. Noise is present once the engine and oil are at operating temp (after 15-20 minutes of driving)
Noise is RPM dependent and is most noticeable at idle and light load/free rev. Not noticeable while driving. No loss in power or any drivability issues at all. Just annoying. Noise remains regardless if clutch pedal is pressed or not.
Car is a 2004 Saleen S281, non-supercharged... and has about 22,000 miles on it. Engine is stock except for the standard Saleen upgrades (underdrive pulleys, ECU tune). Has a drop-in Amsoil air filter in the stock airbox with the silencer removed. Bassani catted x-pipe and Bassani catback. Run on 91 octane Shell. Ford racing Oil filter. 6 quarts Royal Purple HPS 5w30 in the pan.
I'm hoping it's just the x-pipe leaking somewhere, as I'm planning on swapping the stock catted h-pipe on for smog sometime this month.
Mustang motor tick. Exhaust leak? - YouTube
Any ideas or comments?
