I'm a little worried. There is a ticking coming from the back of the passenger side engine bay. As the rpms climb the ticking gets faster. Till about 2-3k then it drops off (or I can't hear it anymore.) I just installed ford gt pumps and prior to that it sat for about a week and a half. I can hear it echoing off the buildings when I'm driving. it doesn't sound like it's coming from exhaust or the headers. Not sure how to post a video on here otherwise I would. It doesn't do it at idle. Not really sure where to start here. Thanks for any and all input.

Doesn't seem to have lost any power, checked the spark plugs, ran through what I could get to exhaust wise. Maybe try a heavier oil?

Tick

Pull the plugs on that side and make sure none of them came loose..that is where I would start. I've seen it happen before

Yeah I've checked the plugs. It happened right after I changed my oil. Mobile one 5w30. And motorcraft filter. I'm not sure if it's a exhaust leak from the header, or what. Gonna change the oil again and see what that does. But damn it's annoying. And it sounds painful lol if that makes sense.

I know on subi forums they talk about how mobil one breaks down fast as hell and no one there uses it. Maybe that's the issue.
