the hole problem was my coil went out and i replaced it with an accel one. so i started my car and it started ticking. it never had did this before.. so i bought a ka24e off a freind and swaped heads from my car...so i just finished today and i started it and the ticking is louder. so i swaped out my rocker arms and it still ticks. i don't know what to do. some one please help, i think its time for an SR... i would also would like to know how to time my car , like where to set the cam gear and such, thanks...

Also.. Just grasping here.. But ticking could also be an electrical ticking.. like a plug wire arching. That could cause a cylinder not to fire.. causing it to run real rough.. also pumping unburned fule out causing white smoke.
