I feel like the sound is getting worse but it could just be me imagining things. If I can get any feedback on this I will record the engine and try to pick up the noise. The best part in my mind is that it doesn't get louder or more frequent when I rev the engine. It actually seems to go away but it could just be that the engine noise is covering up the ticking. Any info or opinion is appreciated. I was thinking a belt tensioner but wouldn't that noise increase with rpms? Thanks for reading!
