Ticking noise

[gofastpilot]

Say, I have a 97 Pont. GA w/the 2.4 and 120k miles. When you start it up cold it will sound normal(valve train)but as the engine warms to oper. temp. you will begin to hear a ticking noise from the right cam(or appears to be).If you crack the throttle it will really get loud. Sound like a loose valve guide to me.Any ideas.............thanks :confused: :confused: :beer:

Does the noise sound like it's coming from Number 1cyl area or 4?

Mr.H.O.
The ticking seems to be coming from the cam timing/#1 cyl. area. I thought also that mybe the chain tensioner wore out and caused the chain to hit something.............gofastpilot:banghead:
