Help with Ticking Sound

CooksToDrive · 05-02-2016, 02:13 PM

Hi All,

I was cleaning out my engine bay today and heard this ticking sound. Any help would be much appreciated. It happens about 30 seconds after start up when the engine settles down.

Lifters? Was the engine warm?

Wastegate vacuum solenoids (on the passenger side at the side of the valve cover). That's my guess.

It was a cold start and not really sure what you're asking by lifters.
