Strange tick??

370guy · 11-03-2011, 12:36 PM

I noticed a strange tick coming from the motor on my car. This is my first Z so I didn't know if was normal for these motors or not. But it does seem to fall in line with the revs. As the revs increase so does it. Should I have this checked out?

This also ^^^^

It may just be the Injectors or the valve train being a little noisy

It seemed to be considerably louder than injector tick. I got my oil changed in case it was low so I'll see that changes anythinh
