22RE "ticking"
Changed my valve cover gasket yesterday. Followed the book, step by step. after reassembly, the engine runs with a pronounced "ticking" noise. I it drives and runs fine otherwise. Guys I have asked to analyze have said valves stuck, lifters bent and a bad timing chain/broken timing chain guides. It ran GREAT before I changed the valve cover gasket.....so what the hell?

x2... i had a friend do just this a few years back. Changed his valve cover gasket and had a loud tick afterward. Took a week or so oftrying to figure it out until someone else suggested over tightened valve cover. On his next birthday I got him a torque wrench to replace his " armstrong" version.

Ya mine ticks more than it should at light throttle not under load but just rolling around in 1st or2nd but u hit it and it go`s away tried thicker got better idle press then shimmed the spring in the pump made it a little quieter but what did the most was pulling a huge load on a heavy trailer it shut up alot for a couple days but its kinda back are these known for bad piston pins.. rod bearings usually get worse under load in other engines I`ve had !!!
