VE Z SS
Hi Guys,

My New Z SS L77 Manual with 2800Km on the clock, all of a sudden today developed a ticking sound. Never there before.

I started it this morning and noticed it straight away. Drove to to work about 30min drive and i could hear it all the way. When its hot its not as loung but you can clearly hear it.

I read about the lifters but this is not going away when the engine is hot.

Holden told me to bring it in but said not to worry. Exact words from the service dep manager were "they are a ticky engine".

Any ideas / advice will be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Definitely a ticky engine. Mine does the same thing.
I had the dealership sign a form to say I notified them about the noise during the warranty period.
