Apr 18, 2014 - My engine has developed a strange ticking sound. Its whisper-quiet before an oil change, and then makes a loud tapping ... Even more strange: The engine is muffled when its cold but noisy when its warm. .... Whether they were great or not, these cars have some cool names. By Collin Woodard · Trucks.

bad lifter or too thin oil put in car. low on oil? Ujoints will cause it, check them all.

fuel filter,fuel pump,spark plugs,

Head gasket sealer? Sounds like you have a cracked head or blown head gasket. The ticking is probably from the valvetrain. If you have a cylinder head problem it will continue to run hot.

The sound you hear is the metal parts of your exhaust system and catalytic converter cooling down.Some cars are louder than others but the sound is perfectly normal.

That sounds like a dead battery. The ticking sound is the relay (a type of switch) which enables power to the starter motor when you turn the key. If the battery is weak, the relay will click, but there is not enough power to turn the starter motor.

there is a TSB(technical service bulletin) available at your dealership for that. Im pretty sure thats the cv shafts making that noise. its very common.

Gm will tell you this is normal lifter noise if it from the top of the motor. It could be from the exhaust but you would hear it from under the car more. I do not care for the responce from GM but they say it is ok.

several possible issues. old cars most likely have valve issues. before spending a lot of money - 1. check to make sure the belts are not frayed and any loose strands cut off - they can also make a ticking sound. 2. you can buy a thicker oil additive at a parts store - if that works, then you need to take it to a mechanic for a valve adjustment. be prepared for bad news, if the car is 20 yrs old, it may be time for retirement.

It is part of the waste gate just above the gas tank. It periodically checks for leaks and pressurizes and releases. Gives a ticking noise when it does this. Not a problem and GM is aware of this and said its normal on our cars.
