VVEL random ticking sound
Wondering if anyone has experienced a ticking sound that comes & goes on the engine, I'm assuming its the VVEL & its more noticeable on the driver side of the engine. The sound comes & goes randomly & it either ticks for a good while or for a short time.

Probably just valve tick. What type of oil are you using ?

I get it to sometimes but only when engine and oil are up to temp and I've been sitting still idling at the lights for example and then as I move off I hear that ticking sound. Warmer weather seems to cause it to happen more often.
I used to think it was engine ping (detonation) but my workshop checked for that and it's not ping. I use Motul 300V 10W/40 oil. |

Yeah I hear a little more louder after a drive, I notice it during idle since I can't hear it while driving (car is loud, tomei). It comes & goes...
