Camarokid......... I'm glad it's only an exhaust leak. But in the future if you have a "ticking" noise that sounds like it's coming from the valve cover area, have it checked out pretty quick. As I was reading this and I cam across the "it got louder" post, I was afraid you bent a lifter. If you don't know alot about engines, (not trying to offend), then you should have odd noises checked out soon in order to avoid making the problem worse.

 

how do u bend a lifter


push rod maybe

 

LOL!!!! I meant valve but I was talking to a guy on the phone about roller lifters while I was talking. I caught all my other typos and corrected them I think.

 

Crewgirl....Thas a good idea in the future...Although I coudnt afford to take it to a shop b/c my parents are in Scotland for another two weeks visting my Grandma...Do shops charge you jus to diagnose the problem???

 

Most shops charge for the diagnosis of a problem, but will waive the diagnostic part if you have them fix it.. so either way your going to pay for a shop to look at it.

 

its blown
