Ok the b6 is running good but today I heard a tick that sounds like hla tick only it seems a bit louder my question is could my performance cam cause something like this or is this just a typical hla noise and if so what should I do to fix it I pulled the valve cover and pushed down on the rocker arms and they all seemed ok so is there anything I can do aside from replacing the hlas

No it doesn't sound like a sewing machine its a tap coming from the valve cover right behind the cam gear it doesn't sound like the typical valve noise that the festys normally have any ideas ?Justin Craig Paola Kansas my 4 passions, demolition derby,Ford 2.3s, my festiva and my kidsComment
