[QUOTE="Bungie, post: 959705, member: 11700"] My 04 was a ticker, I'm very familiar with it. That sounds just like a ticker, but I don't believe it is one. I think you have some other sort of valve-train problem. Your's is quite loud at idle and seems to be localized. Mine was loudest between 3000-3500 rpm. Your's does get louder in that range, but seems to be VERY loud all the time. Mine also burnt no oil between changes and had very little oil in the pipes. I'd wager you have some sort of other problem that is manifesting itself as the same sound (bent valve? broken spring?) Theirs one way to tell for sure. Pull the cams out and have a good look with a dial indicator on the valve stems (runout). [/QUOTE]
