So my dad has been having this tick in his 4V for quite some time and it seems to be coming from the passenger side. There's no loss in power what so ever. You can only really hear it at idle and increases with RPM and doesnt seem to change whether the engine is hot or cold. We are about to invest money in a timing kit( chains, cam gears, guides, tensioners, and lash adjusters) can anyone give me a good idea about what this mystery tick could be? Local speed shop said that it was a stretched rod but i feel thats highly improbable considering the car only has about 65,XXX miles on it. What do you guys think it could be? I can upload a video later on if the post seems to catch an interest. Any help is greatly appreciated.
