Default Help! New Engine Noises....

Well the other day i was letting people know that i was having a large multi toned roaring noise from my engine. Turns out is exhast leak and the then my heat shield was loose due to a old bolt that was snapped in half. Well I got into my car this morning, and driving to work, I now have a ticking noise coming from my engine as i accelerate. All this is just getting me frustrated. The Ticking really is unnotacable during idle but you can easily hear the exhast leak now if you listen closely, but during acceleration, the ticking becomes a bit louder and faster. But once the engine warms up to a decent temperature the ticking becomes quieter. but it still remains in the background if you listen closly.

What is this noise?

Anyone know?

Or how to fix for temporary? Im planning on buying a new engine for swap in feburary if not sooner.

lifters? I get crazy lifter tick in my car until it warms up. You can just let the car warm up a bit more before driving, or try a different kind of oil. If thats what it is, its not really life threatening.

I fingured it was something like that. Yea once it warms up it almost goes away but then i have to listen to that damn exhaust leak rumble it give my engine.... but its life. As long as the car survives the im fine. just so you know the enging has 140000 miles on it. but has been well maintained. just minor things keep showing up from here to there. So should i use a heavier oil? Maybe try some of the enging restorer?

Theres some oil out that's supposed to be polarized or something along those lines that might help.

Just do a valve adjustment and you'll be fine. No need for special oils or engine restorer.
