Ticking noise from.....where? :blinks:

 

Idle for a 4AGE is ~850rpm, model/transmission depending.

 

Oil pressure (engine at operating temperature) should be 30kpa (minimum) at idle & 250 to 490kpa at 3000rpm. Coolant temperature, NFI, too many variables but apparently the thermostat opens at 82 degrees celcius.

 

Welcome aboard but, man, my head hurts.... :(

Broken ring on a piston. It fails to hold the piston steady and you are hearing the tick of the pston slapping in the bore as it changes direction.

 

Otherwise we need more info about what happens to the tick when it idles, (could be tappet) or the timing.(could be pinking)

 

..and we need it in English.
