Your valves are bent...time for a new motor.




J/K man...but the valves might need adjusting.

lots of owners.. (including me) have heard a ticking noise coming from the engine..you can hear it really well when it's idling.... the "fix" to get rid of that noise is to replace the purge valve with the redesigned one that doesn't make the noise....'

have you tried listeining for the ticking when it's idling?
