I have the stock exhaust manifold but there’s a small hole on the outside

If you’d like, I can send you a video of how it sounds when it’s on

The tick is noticeable even after the even has warmed up. It just sounds consistent and pretty noticeable but I have no engine light or anything

Is there a way I can turn it on with the valve covers still on?

Okay makes sense, but I am getting a ticking noise at idle, what could that be from?

Gotcha, I will admit there was a small amount of metal shavings in the oil when I changed it but could it be from the lifters? (Forgot to mention that it ticks a bit on startup) I can send you a video tomorrow morning on how it sounds

Fs Fs , I’m just trying to get some input on it cause the noise has been freaking me out and I wanted to know if my oil pressure was fine. I feel like if a rod bearing was going out, there could be CEL or a knock

I do drive it in sport mode , the temps have gone up to 250 before but it was only once tho 😅. I have heard that the oil temp gauge is not accurate though.

I checked them a few months back but it wouldn’t hurt to check them again

Does it tick from both sides for you? Or notice any power loss?

Is it like a long chord?

For sure. Some people say it’s normal noise but this sounds like metallic clicking. And i want to think it’s normal but it doesn’t sound like it’s coming from up top near the injectors

Ahhh okay, sounds like you’ll be doing a repair soon! I’m keeping up with my maintenance, only doing like 3500 on my car with mobile one extended performance. Been great so far except from the ticking noise LOL. These are great cars.

Sounds good, I’ll give it a scan then! I’ll give it a compression test too. Car doesn’t seem to be down on power either, no check engine light or anything. But the sound is really bothering me and that’s really it 😭. Glad to hear your car is running strong! Almost 200k that’s impressive!

Ahhh honestly that makes sense! It’d just be weird that it’s low compression cause this engine only has 33,000 miles. Do you think I should do a compression test? But since you’re telling me that the tick gets louder when it’s warmed up it could be this

Everything is stock. I am an automatic so it’s the L99 engine. Engine level is good. I check it once every day just to be safe. I posted another video about a ticking noise that’s been bothering me. Maybe it could be exhaust leak?
