I hear a ticking noise that sounds like it's coming from the valve cover on the passenger side, but the sound is stronger when listening from the bottom. Would cause it be? No check engine light and no missing. 2005 Lincoln Navigator

Use hose one end in ear, other to poke around to listen where the sound is coming from. If really from bottom end this engine has bad rod bearing = overhaul time. If from top of engine may be valve tappet noise. Not good either.

SOURCE: engine noise

You have the 5.4 3 valve engine in your Navigator, Ford has had various problems with noise from this motor. The cost of repair will vary because this noise cam come from different places, such as cam phasers, valve lash adjusters and sometimes the ticking noise is actually coming from the injectors which is considered normal. I would have it checked out by the dealer. -Jared

Ticking noise on passenger side of mazda b3000 truck

Valves and tappets make that sound when not getting enough oil. When you drive there's more oil pressure and the valves/tappets get enough oil. Of course road noise could be drowning out the sound and the valve noise could still be there.

My elantra 2013 has developed a clicking noise under the hood.

It could be as simple as a frayed belt hitting as the engine is turning.

First visually inspect the belt.

Then get someone to assist you and rev the car while you listen for the noise under the hood.

A long screwdriver is sometimes helpful if you touch parts of the engine and components while the engine is running (carefully) to see if you can identify where the ticking is coming from.

If it's a valve you ought to be able to hear/feel it through the long screwdriver when you touch the engine valve cover.

make sure engine fluids are properly filled.

also, sometimes it can be a fan component that ticks even after the car shuts off.

1999 dodge intrepid 2.7L I had a pretty loud tick

Valve covers are not made of plastic. They are either stamped mild steel or cast aluminum. It is very unlikely that whatever made the ticking sound would cause a valve cover to fracture without the engine misfiring noticeably or other serious issues occurring. Are you saying that since this "hole" appeared, the noise has stopped?

Judging from your description I would suggest having a qualified mechanic assess the problem before driving the car much further. If something has broken in the valve train and metal fragments have gotten into the oil it can cause catastrophic damage to the engine.

Oil pressure gauge does not reach 40 PSI. Heard the sounds like a loud ticking coming from the engine on the passengers side. Then pressed on the gas peddle and it didn't want to add power. Ticking n

Not sure if there is a question here or not. If the pressure is always below 40 and you are hearing engine noise, chances are the oil pressure really is low. You could replace the sending unit or use a mechanical gauge to verify.

My geo metro egine have a ticking sound

If you have adjusted your valves and the ticking persists then try changing your exhaust manifold gasket. A leaking exhaust manifold gasket will often make a loud ticking sound.

Sounds like an Exhaust Manifold leak on only one cylinder. The Gasket is probably blown out. Check around where manifold is bolted to the engine. Any leaks are usually evident by a black sooty deposit.

Loud ticking sound all of the time

Are you sure its not an exhaust leak ..? They can sometimes sound like a ticking noise and the noise will change with temperatures of engine.. ? also if you can borrow a stethicope from someone which is used in automotive repair alot (different than what your doctor uses) this will help you pinpoint the problem .. It sounds to me with out hearing it you have a loose rocker arm possably .. If this is the case this is a easy fix and very inexpensive. just figure which side its coming from take the valve cover off and tighten it till it stops ticking and then give it 1/4 turn. Holler if you need more Jerry
