Mine did the same thing for a while, I figured somehting was sticking, so I drained most of the oil out, poured a gallon of kerosine into the crankcase, ran the engine til it warmed up, then drained it all and put new oil and filter. You should have seen how much **** came out.. I recommend doing that... kerosine is only 8$ or so anyway. My tick is gone now.

Phantim, what spoiler is that on your car? I recognize it but can't put a name to it.

First Post...I had a ticking noise that drove me crazy.. Starting was not a problem and driveability seemed to be fine. Lost a little on the accerlation. But that lil ticking was killing all day...When I got home, I pulled the plugs thinking that is what was causing the loss power. I did a compression test. I lost compression in the number 3.Now, by the way was car was idling and no smoke I was lost. Finally, I pulled the valve cover and there is was. I broke a spring. Changed it out and tick went away.

You may not have the same tick but I figured I would tell about mine issue, just in case..
