Ticking Noise Resolved! - Land Rovers Only

helievacpilot · 09-19-2007, 06:42 AM

A little good news to report as I deal with other self-induced repairs to my wife's DII. I had the same ticking noise at start-up that many others have reported. Went away, for the most part, when warmed up. When I dropped the exhaust to change cooler lines, it was evident that I had blow-by on the manifold to header-pipe gasket. Replaced the gaskets, tightened everything up, started her up and NO ticking noise! Easy fix. I was also fortunate that there was very little if no corrosion on the manifold nuts/studs. Hit them with a little PB Blaster the night before and they came out like they were new.
Thanks again for all the help with past posts.

Great news, glad it was that simple! Why does it never work out that way for me?
