Ticking noise
Ive been having a ticking noise for a long time now, No idea what it could be, car runs with no problems. Changed spark plugs and still there, recently got a midpipe and still there. So I have no idea what it could be. Just asking for expeirences on anyone that located ticks. Thanks.

I posted up a video of the noise, sounds like it could be my spark plugs but I checked them before and they were tight. I guess ill check again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VwMl3Fr8EY

I've also noticed a louder ticking sound ever since I got my engine replaced. The original engine never seemed to tick that loudly, so I've been a little concerned. Doesn't seem to lessen after a fresh oil change, either. I'd like to hear some other possible causes as well.

Yeah it hasnt really bothered me. Just wondering what it could be. All other videos I seen the ticks were much louder than mine. I do have bad pilot bearing which is annoying lol

Only ticking I could think of would be from injectors or coils,wires, plugs. Possibly a frayed belt but I doubt it.

Yeah, that statement was a bit of tongue-in-cheek on my part, but it was lost because I didn't really explain it. On my old MX-3, the lifters would sometimes make a racket until I put fresh oil in the engine. The rotary wouldn't exactly have that problem.

im also curious because my rx8 occasionally makes ticking noises on start up and sometimes mid drive but i assumed one of the radiator fans were slapping something but now after reading this i am guessing its the fuel injector. if anyone can at least back up my guess i will run a Fuel injection cleaner this saturday and let you guys know if it stopped.
