Thanks MRKSTS,
No, he didn't say there was more to noise then usual. He did ask me if I was doing this because there was a problem and I told him that it was nothing major just the noise, so he knew why I was there. I've been going to this shop for many years now and he always tells me when he sees something. Maybe it's just me being sensitive. It only bothers me if there is something wrong. I read in a number of posts that it is normal for these engines to tick. I was wondering if anyone had a quick fix or if this was a warning for something breaking down.
