So if you've ever heard an old bronco or a big old 80s caddy go buy you you'll know what I'm talking about. </P>


RPMs really make no difference, but the noise is especially present say at about 50mph in 5th. When I press on the pedal, I hear a ticking noise, like lifters or something. Just a rapid ticking noise, similar to that of the cars described earlier. Its definately in the internals of the engine, not sure exactly which piece. Any ideas? I really dont know how to describe it better, just a really rapid ticking noise that goes away over 3k revs, or I just can't hear it past then.</P>

 

may be wrist pin try pulling 1 plugl wire off at a time if noise goes away {,with eng.running at idle}problem is on that cylinder.good luck

 

good advice that was what i was going to say.Also you may have worn a cam lobe out.Very rare on a roller block.What engine is this you are referring to?

 

My 302, and thanks, I'll check the cylinders, anything else?
