| I have a ticking noise in the engine of my 95 riviera. The Dealer was no help. I have changed the lifters, rods, new coupler in the supercharger. New upper and lower tensioners and manifold gaskets. I have taken the belts of and the noise is still there. Any ideas. | |

| try taking a vaccum cleaner hose, put one end to your ear, and move the other around the engine bay to try and isolate where exactally the ticking is comming from... _________________ | |

| I have tried that along with a stophscope and I am still unable to locate the noise. If I keep my foot in the supercharger the noise goes a way but when I let up it comes back. | |

| Is this something that just happened? Is it a very light tick? Just at idle? All of the Series I engines I have owned, and friends have had, have had a very light ticking sound at idle. I just figure it's normal for that engine. | |

| This just started about a 3 weeks now. It starts when ther engine reaches normal temp. The ticking gets faster as the engine races and slows down as the engine slows | |

| If it still makes the noise while the belts are off, it has to be exhaust related IMO. Look at the over-the-transmission pipe and it's joints. There is a gasked at the rear that might be failed. | |

| If it is exhaust you might be able to see it. If you can get in a very dark area, like in a garage. Maybe put it on jack stands and get under it and look for the leak. You might be able to hear it better from under the car too... Bert | |

| I wonder if it's the fuel injectors. They "tick" or click.

| Thanks, I will check the exaust tomorrow. As far as the fuel injectors I installed new O rings when I changed the coupler. One injector was cracked so I replaced it. I think the injectors are good. Does any one have a photo of the Over the Transmission pipe? And exactly where is it located? | |

| Get yourself a hose (stethoscope) and put one end to your ear, with the other end hunt around to pinpoint the noise. | |
