[QUOTE="Root1022, post: 10524347, member: 74500"] Best bet would be to post up a video of it. From everything you said it sounds like it could very well be the tick. Can you hear it inside the car as well? This is a quote from the Terminator FAQ's on Bob's site about it harming the engine: "Will running a car with the tick result in some sort of catastrophic failure? Highly doubtful. It's mostly an annoying sound that you have to live with. I'm sure the worn valve guide causes a bit of inefficiency due to blow-by around the seals. I doubt it's enough to notice until it has been run like that for quite a while. I personally wouldn't and didn't want to live with it. Others chose to leave well enough alone and have yet to see any significant issues" From what I understand its more noticable when the car is warm. However it should still be there when its cold, just maybe not as loud. [/QUOTE]
