Clicking noise when accelerating

doing the head taking out the timing belt you need to check 3 times on 3 turns of the engine by hand to make sure the timing lines up with the marking. so that is time up turn. if you have to adjust then turn again if fine turn another time check then another. if it is out you start again until it right 3 times in a row.

Very possible that the timing is out. Could be too advanced. If ok, possible bearing noise, low oil or exh. manifold gasket.

Does it make the noise with the belt removed ?

Timing chain ,marks right ?

One common issue when a shadetree mechanic changes the head gasket is that during the removal of the timing chain/belt and it's corresponding sprockets that the camshaft and crankshaft timing chain/belt sprockets are allowed to turn relative to one another if not properly indexed before reassembly. This causes the valve timing to be quite off once everything is put back together.
Checking to make sure that compression is proper in the engine should resolve whether or not this is your issue.

Static won't come from an antenna. It normally comes from your connections. If you've been changing the head, check the contacts where it goes together. The only noise your antenna will pick up, is noise from your ignition. If what you hear is more of a buzzing or clicking that changes as you accelerate, then you should get your ignition checked.

sounds like your CV joints are worn out. If the clicking noise gets worse when turning then its a definite possibility. Also check the CV joint boots for splits as this can quickly wear them out. The dust mixes with the grease to form a grinding paste.

Take a pressure test and see what #1 is reading. If all is ok then take off your valve cover and see if your lifters are moving and every thing is tight. see if you don't have a lose rocker.
When you do your pressure test, I would do them all to make sure what you have. If one is bad it will really be lower then the others. That is where your problem will be. Then you would have to go from there. But please let me know how things turn out.

your car is over heating but even if you look at the temp it could be wrong if there if no water on it to tell it the temp but like motor 1258
said check your cooling system and also go to a shop that will see if you need to replace your head gasket also thermostat may be stuck. hop that helps

No, this is not normal.
It does happen though but at 50,000 miles is really ridiculous.

If you had a leaking head gasket, then the noise was during the engine being on (running).
It could also have caused the pistons to "lock" when you tried to start the engine (water in combustion chamber, not compressible).

Did they change the head gasket and check the limits on the head (warping) or pour some gimmick in your coolant reservoir?
