Engine Ticking Noise
#31
Thank you, I feed it a healthy diet of Shell Premium and give it plenty of exercise.
That said, you can distinctly hear the sound of my timing chain every morning after the automatic 2000k RPM warm-up if I have my A/C turned off. Clickity-clackity-clickity. Once the car warms up it goes away, but it always worried me.

What's funny is that Shell was on the toptier gas and then I think Mobil/Exxon came in later? I think that they bought their place into the list.
I get that gas because I get 15 cents off per gallon at any Exxon/Mobil Gas station using the Exxon/Mobil Platinum Mastercard. Any savings would be great during the hard economic times =)

I have the exactly same ticking noise from engine. 03 G coupe with 82000miles on it.
Went to dealer and was told to change the engine oil with thicker one. I changed the engine oil with way thicker one but the same noise comes from the same spot. Some mechanics are saying it's from valve lifters and it wouldn't make the car die or anything but annoying.

I have this same exact issue. Doesn't happen all of the time, when it does, I can't hear it from the cabin. Outside it is noticeable. When hood open it is a loud, tick, tick, tick, tick, from the rear passenger side of the engine. Please update us if someone finds out what it is. I have an '08 Journey.

Well I went to the dealership and spoke with the Service rep and then the mechanic. The engine was "ticking" just as before. I think I was fed a line of BS, because I have never heard of this before. But, supposedly there is a flap somewhere near the passenger side of the engine that releases gas or oil vapors (don't remember which they said) and that is the ticking that I hear. They said that there is nothing to worry about and that this is normal. The Dealership said that it will happen off and on, and some of the factors are the different gas that is used. Right now the “winter blend” of fuel is out and different from summer’s blend. Well I know that is true, and I have not heard this ticking in summer. Maybe there is some truth to this. Anyone else know?

The weird part is that the location of the sound is in the rear passenger side...I brought it to the dealer and they want to take it in to check out what is wrong...they said that it could be the fuel filter?

Bring this thread back...anyone find anything out?
Mine still does it. Even today i got out while it was still running and i was like what the hell was that. It always comes from under the car by the wheels when the hood was shut. Pretty loud today
but i did it with the original engine as well as this new one..so i am thinking it is 100% normal..just annoying becasue like i said..when you drive in a parking garage or by a wall you can hear the tick loud as can be..but i guess it's just how these engines are
I use mobil 1 synthetic as well
