[sm=WTFsgign.gif]My truck develpoed this ticking noise toward the back/center of the engine... It keeps getting louder and louder I thought maybe it could be a manafold crack? Any Ideas?
Thanks[sm=thanx.gif]

 

maybe a bad lifter?

 

I found it out I have and exhuast leak in where the manafold connects to the pipe....

 

So at the Collector, easy fix get a new gasket tighten the baby back up.

 

what is a good way to find where an exhaust leak is coming from becaue i think i have one but im not sure if its from the cat that the shop welded on really bad (that i already welded shut once) or somewhere else? any tips on how to find a leak?

 

to find a leak on the exhaust pipe then with the truck running hold your hand about half an inch from the pipe in the area that u r trying to check and if it is leaking u will feel little puffs of exhaust comming out.
