Upon closer inspection it seems my belt tensioner must be going cuz every time i hear it the tensioner moves a little bit. Plus the sound seems to be coming from that area. Might have a bad bearing on it or something. _____________________________ -Rob "what fell off of where!?!?!"

If I rested my foot really gently againt the gas pedal I could even feel it my next guess would be the a/c clutch....but thats a given..... _____________________________ (in reply to TheBrettster) Post #: 26

RE: ticking noise - 7/20/2007 5:31:04 PM    BrianMichaels1 Posts: 118 Joined: 3/16/2007 From: Dallas, TX Status: offline OK so really, this ticking is entirely in the engine compartment and not at all transmitted to the inside of the vehicle.  It's loud enough right as the engine starts cold, to hear it witht he doors closed and windows up, however.  It did it once today probably the loudest it ever has.  Not to say it was very loud, but just a tick, and for about 15 or 20 seconds.  It really sounds like a very mild knock but let's hope not as I have 100,700 miles and I drive it like a tired grandma (VERY rarely accelerating over 2,100 RPMs and never exceeding 55 MPH) and religiously maintain it.  This is annoying, I really wish I knew what it was. _____________________________ 2000 Chevy Blazer LT 4X4 4-door Resto projects: 1975 Toyota Celica GT 1974 Toyota Celica ST 1971 Chevy Nova, 307 1968 Chevy C20 1964 Volvo 122 Wagon (in reply to aced411) Post #: 28

RE: ticking noise - 7/24/2007 6:39:12 PM    BrianMichaels1 Posts: 118 Joined: 3/16/2007 From: Dallas, TX Status: offline OK so now all at once I changed my oil and pcv valve, added lucas injector cleaner and lucas transmission treatment.  I'm assuming it's the result of the new pcv valve that now I can barely hear the ticking at all.  Now I feel much better that it was that simple of a fix.  I recommend the $1.60 pcv valve to everyone with this ticking! _____________________________ 2000 Chevy Blazer LT 4X4 4-door Resto projects: 1975 Toyota Celica GT 1974 Toyota Celica ST 1971 Chevy Nova, 307 1968 Chevy C20 1964 Volvo 122 Wagon (in reply to BrianMichaels1) Post #: 29
