Ticking from engine.........vari's with rpm's

[Billgear]

It could be many thing, leaky exhoust gasket
will sound like alifter problem. I would get
a tube to use as a listening devise. I piece
of conduit or something. It will help isolate
all the other engine noise. A screwdriver will work also. Put your ear on the handle
and push the blade against the valve cover
area.
