engine tick help

[96gt4.6]

after hearing the second video I would say its about the same

just found that if I unplug the cylinder 2 coil the tick completely goes away at idle but if you rev it up un plugged then just as it about gets to idle it ticks for a second and goes away at normal idle rpm

when i put that engine together
the noise was way worse noisy
i could drive the hell out of it put it through testing nothing so far has changed maybe a little less noise
but it runs great, and power is good
that was almost 3 years ago use it for work once and awhile or car shows meets greets

I keep debating just running it. I also did a manual transmission swap and haven’t had much luck finding a stock tune to upload for the manual and need it to pass emissions

Maybe an Italian tune up?

haha, I did run it pretty hard a couple times to see if it would blow up and nothing changed

I agree and meant to say something, very nice job

I have no doubt, but it looks like it was well worth the effort.

this is how it sounds now
slight tick
about like that

Videos never give the best sound, but doesn’t sound like an exhaust leak to me. Doesn’t hurt to check though, hope it is, because exhaust is easier than valve train

already over a 1000 miles still running strong
not an exhaust leak, checked

The stage 8 locking fasteners were a bit of a pain to fit on my headers, but so was the time before I didn't use them and it seemed like there was ALWAYS one bolt that was working it way out and making a leak.

i installed a double gasket on it and tighten the shit of it
no leaking
