Engine Tick?

[MJF]

Hey everyone, I just started noticing an engine tick which sounds like it’s coming from the bottom end. Is anyone else experiencing this, and or is this something to be concerned with.

Here is a video of the sound.

100% the car is low on oil

Add oil

research these cars and oil consumption.

I’m having some trouble uploading the video but will keep trying. The car is not low on oil. Oil level is between the dots on the dipstick. Thx.

If you can't upload the video, you can send it to me (there are a variety of ways to do this) and I can host it for you on my server space, similar to what I'm doing for my own car (i.e., the hyperlink at the end of my sig below). PM me if you want to do this..........

Like I said in PM to you, I couldn't really hear much in the video. If you shoot another video, just repeat the process and I'll host it.

Good luck!

I checked your link and the sound was fine, just needed to turn the volume up from the app that played the video.

Watched vid. Does the tick increase to a faster rate and decrease with rpm?

Almost sounds like an exhaust leak.

Does it only do it when it's warm?

Turned up the volume and, yeah, kinda sounds like exhaust leak.

I only really noticed it at idle, when revving the engine I can’t say I noticed it.

I was storing it for the winter and it was only running for about 5-10 mins so it was not at temperature so I can’t say. Thanks

In my experience, I had a small exhaust leak when the engine was cold. After the pipes heated and expanded the leak closed off.

OP,
I can hear it and the camera isn't really in a great position to isolate where the sound is coming from but I was leaning toward a lifter.
