Engine Ticking sound
Hi guys. I have a 1928 tudor. I recently noticed a ticking sound from the right side of the engine that was not there before. Can anyone steer me in the right direction for diagnostic and possible fix?

Re: Engine Ticking sound
Does the ticking increase when you rev engine? First thing I would think of is a sticking or slow valve. Do you use MMO in your gas?

Put a new manifold gasket on. Easy job.

Re: Engine Ticking sound
I had one with a loud ticking sound, put in the MMO and cranked it over with the key off them pulled it to TDC and put about a cup in the suspect cylinder and a week later filled the neighborhood with blue smoke, but ticking all go away. Worked for me and now I use the MMO in our ethanol gas, 4 oz. to a full tank. Been told tranny fluid will do the same. Since I buy MMO by the gallon I find I'm not all that worried about the cost. It is, after all, a ten to thirty thousand dollar toy, so why worry about the minor costs?

Re: Engine Ticking sound
I haven't noticed a difference with the engine revved up yet. I'll check it out tomorrow. I have not added MMO to the gas, but I will try that also. Thanks.

Re: Engine Ticking sound
Possible that the cam nut has come loose. Take the little side cover off and see if the cam is loose.

Re: Engine Ticking sound
Does the ticking go away after the engine warms up?

Re: Engine Ticking sound
If the block is worn in the tappet bores, it will tick. The cure? Oversize tappets.

Re: Engine Ticking sound
Try to isolate the noise, lifters, exhaust/intake, timing cover. That'll help us.

Re: Engine Ticking sound
Hello guys. Sorry I did not get back sooner to update you. I did as Jackson suggested and changed the intake manifold gasket and the ticking sound disappeared. I added a little MMS to the fuel as an added measureand everything seems fine.
