Ticking noise!!!

[MYYellowTY]

Just started getting a ticking noise, Its not a deep knock like from a rod but lightede and more of a tick noise.It sounds louder then injector noise but might not be.It sounds upper end and towards the back of the engine.It idles great runs fine but starts the noise at 2k RPMs.I idle it and it starts at 2k all the way up.I did a compression test a few weeks ago but that was before the noise.Any ideas on what it might be or diagnostics to try?Should I do a compression test again? I have an Ultimate and AFPR and all MSD ign.Getting Walbro next and know that might have did me in!!!! :tdown: I know I know!!!Im getting DM next week and gonna run it but any ideas till then??I have a 94 Astro cmfi 4.3 and know 4.3s arent the quietest engines but this doesnt sound right. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Re: Ticking noise!!!

before you get too worried check for an exhaust leak or a loose plug since you just had them out . the next thing it could be is a lifter tick (bad or going bad lifter) or a rocker might need to be adjusted ! these guesses from behind a computer screen !
