Ticking noise

[bandmgrinding@xxxxxxxx]

Hi Kerry,
    The best tool that I ever found for this and other noises is an
electronic stethescope, usally available from a parts store for around
$30.00, in leiu of that, you can remove the valve covers and use the old
finger method of touching the rocker arm with your finger to feel for the
shock of the lifter hitting or use a thin dteel rod or vacuum hose to
your ear and the rocker. Makes one heck of a mess though.
