Default Is this a burnt valve

About a month ago my car started acting up.. I had to leave for school the next day so haven't had a chance to fool with it. I finally came home and checked it out tonight. I didn't even hear this noise before cuz I just was glad I got it home and in the garage.

Here you can clearly hear a tick tick tick. It is not a mechanical tick coming out of the engine.. its coming out of the exhaust. I'm afraid I have a burnt valve or something.

VIdeo


here are the codes it threw:
P0452
P0190
P0354

I really don't think its anything electronic though.. somethin is F'd up inside the head

It misses really bad at lower rpms but still seems to pull good up top. I pulled the plugs out.. there isn't really anything much unusual on them



SOOO .... what to do?

I bet you busted a ring land off a piston and it took the valve with it. Do a leakdown test on the motor. P0190 is fuel pressure and I would be very scared at this time. JMO

I thinkits a little to early to say exactly what happened only going by a sound, but I do think its something mechanical in the head.

I have no Idea about the computer codes.. its just going crazy.. I guess i'll just tear into it

mine sound like this after is completly blew the engine I tore it down and it was toast. I had low compression on all the cylinders on the passenger side. I am talking like 30 psi, 40psi, 65 psi and 70 psi. after i got it apart it had two broken cylinders. Lucky for me it did not lock up and I was able to get home. But it could be a bad tappet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FytlckOJ5U

Could be but I have heard similar before. Compression check will tell you loads.
