Ticking Noise In Engine Bay At Take Off

Post by Shikeira »

At first takeoff, there's a ticking noise that lasts until about 2k RPM's and then stops. It sounds like a go kart :lol: I thought it was a loose heat shield for the exhaust (underbody, not header) but I don't think itll be that simple.

Thanks.

How old is the oil?
