ka noise

[sheepskin]

my engine is making this ticking sound and i wanna know what it is. i do not know much so i dont want to replace the wrong part or make the problem worse. it still drives, though.

my 97 240 did the same thing ticking at idle and got louder through out the power band. some guys told me maybe i broke or bent something in the valves or a lifter. or just spun a bearing and becoming a rod knock. my ka has 143k miles. i just decided to go with a sr swap.
