Valvetrain Noise?

[CMilViper]

While sitting in my car with the windows up, and radio turned down, valvetrain noise is very noticeable. It just has a lot of ticking noises that can be heard easily at idle and low RPM's while inside the car.

I usually put the windows down and turn the radio up, and then it is not noticed as much.

Is this pretty typical and normal, or do I have engine problems?

Thanks.

Chris>>>in past posts, I remember several owners mistaking the sound of the injectors for valve train noise. Tick>tick>tick....apparently the injectors can make a ticking noise that some people hear clearly and others don't. Hope this helps. I wouldn't panic. Pete the ex glass guy and hot rodder

Engine / valvetrain or NGR?

Have you gotten out to see which one it is?

Thanks for the replies guys. The ticking gets faster with engine speed.

ViperJoe, It is definately Engine noise. I have not yet noticed any NGR on my car.

Thanks
