Keep good oil in it and it will last a long time. If that's it the hard part is finding the one that's doing it. A feeler gauge under the rocker arm while it's running will tell which one it is, T padilla New User Sep 24, 2006, 7:29 AM Post #3 of 4 (1697 views) Re: ticking engine Sign In thanks for the reply. i,ve heard that ,i'll give it a try.
