where is it coming from? Definitely engine, under the car? ETC? Could be exhaust related

Could also be detonation. I would get it checked out.

I did the same thing and thought that I messed up a valve but it turned out to be a spun rod bearing. I wouldnt drive it found out the hard way.

how high did you rev it?

im thinking that it must be an exhaust leak?

I just had the same thing happen in my 99 which turned out to be a cracked piston in the number 3 cylinder. I would check your compression. What you are describing sounds almost identical though but hopefully this isnt the case

false alarm the ticking noise stopped, it was just a socket which fell in the little holes in the hood, had to use a extendable magnet to get it out. lol
