I have a ticking noise coming from the right side of my upper plenum. I have a video. 1994 N/A. Can someone tell me what it might be? Power steering and all fluids are full. Does not do it all the time.[youtube]https://youtu.be/hxfzrae-ddU[/youtube]

Is it tick tick or tack tack? Tick would probably be a intake gasket or exhaust header gasket. Tack is sticky lifter and such

Z prime.. That sounds like a sticky lifter. Give her a engine flush (I prefer motor medic) and an oil change with diesel oil (delo 400 LE 10w30 or 5w40 change in 2 or 3 weeks with somewhat spirited driving a time or 2 delo is thankfully cheep and on sale as well depending on your market. Engine will be super clean as well when it's all done.
