i know i posted this in another thread but here goes

I got this noisy ticking sound when the car warms up a bit, i replaced the idler tensioner today... im thinking its either the lifters or an exhaust leak, im pretty sure... the sound is at idle and increases with acceleration "when i rev it" , Oh and one of the exhaust manifolds is missing a stud sooo.... yeah i don't know, its starting to p!ss me off this noise
Any ideas??

BINGO exhaust manifold will be ticking away, put a gasket in there it should solve it ohh and get the stud replaced

yeah i was thinking it might be the problem as it only starts doing it when the engine heats up

+1 for above. Ehausts leaks do make ticking noises in the right spots, manifold being one of them.
