    just looked at your first post again....check the plugs and wires real good.It sounds like that is exactly what was happening to my buddy's gtp when one of the plug wires came off of the spark plug.


    How far in minuts or hours do you live from warnerrobins or macon?

    well the ticking has been doing it even since i had the car. and then i put new plugs and wires on and it still did it. i really never paid attention to it but now that im thanking about moding and actually going threw with it im also thinking into the longjevity of the car. yea i need to go back and check all the plugs and wires. its hot right now. ill have to wait till the car cools. dont wanna touch the manifold on the back side. macon is about 1-1.5 hours away. maybe 2 but not all that bad.

    thats when pinks is going to be there?? i might just go for that. and yea, i dont remember who said it but im quite sure it was my injectors. i did not pull the valve covers off but they are not vibrating like they are getting hit and my bro said that is not the sound of rockers hitting. plus the more i listened it sounds like its comming from the injectors. so who ever said that good call!!! is there any recemondations for cleaning them effectivly. im running fuel injector cleaner therew them right now but if that is not enough do i need to pull them off and clean them with something??

    okay thanks. is it normal for one injector to be louder than the others?? one side is kinda loud, well more like just one injector while the others are pretty unnoticable.

    Now that you are talking about fuel injectors, I didn't think of ot before, but on my 05 Ram, i got a loud ticking sound. More when it's cold than hot. It didn't start to do it until I put quite a few miles on the truck. I took it to one dealers because of the warrenty) and they told me there was no problems just the sound of the injectors. I didn't know what to think. Never heard of that before. So I went to another dealer and they explained it a little more. They told me that bigger injectors had been used and after they so called got broke in, I was hearing the injectors go through their cycles. They some vehicles injectors make noise and some don't. And some take longer to do it than others. I wouldn't say for deffinate that is your problem, but something to think about. Does it seem to hurt your performance any? I would also call a local dealer and see if that was a possibility or if there have been any injector problems. Just an idea.

    IF you are able to make it to the strip on may 10, leave me something in my PM and we can figure it out from there.

    I've removed my heads before. Yeah, they're just bolted on, but you have to remove a lot of stuff to get to them. Couple that with the price of new gaskets, head bolts, rocker bolts, and the time it takes to do all of this and clean the head surface for a good gasket seal (very important!), it adds up very easily.

    If you go to the effort of removing the head, get them ported or at the least have a shop mill them down a few thousandths. I'm regretting not having done that when I could have.

    no the injectors dont seem to hurt performance at all. just the dang ticking noise and yea i was looking at it, thats alot of stuff to pull off for the heads. some nice ported heads would be nice tho idk i guess just something to think about.
