ticking and clicking
 

soooo i got in my car today and there was some baaad ticking after it warmed up. i was like could be low oil. nope....thats good. then i was like sounds like an exhaust leak.....not any that i could find. so after looking on here, that makes me think its that rocker problem that is described in that sticky thread. is that a normal problem? i am scared to drive the car as i dont want anything to get worse......

hopefully that'll be good. around 1 minute...when i pick up the camera and rev it by hand is where you can hear it the best

it may be possible a timing chain tensinor **** the bed and the chain is loose....could be making that noise

it doesn't sound like its coming from the front of the engine though. it sounds like its in the back or about halfway.
