The tick doesant sound internal.. It should external but ive looked over everthing that could be loose. Could it be an exhaust leak?
it still has stock manifolds correct... you should look over all the emmisions stuff one of the pipes may have broke that comes off the manifold... and i'd have to disagree with cowboy it all depends on where the exhaust leak is comming from... if it's a hole it will change but if it's a gasket it will tick and just get faster with rpm's

i do have to say it again tho there's is just sooo many things than can make a ticking it's soo hard to diagnose...

do you have any way of getting a video of the sound?

Yes, the exhaust manifolds are stock. The car sounds good from the back, it doesn't sound like its leaking. I tried putting my hand real close to the pipes off the manifolds feeling for air.. I couldn't find anything.

I have to replace the starter very soon, ill look at the exhaust more when its up on the lift. I should go ahead and flush the tranny while its up there, hell change the oil too.
