Please don't get all tecchy in here ;-) As soon as someone posts a question with a vague description of a symptom of what may or may not indicate a big problem, please stick to the standard response - advise them that the absolute worst case scenario is the most likely one. Wonder if they're like this in health forums; Q"hey, I've had a headache for three hours - any idea what's causing it!" A " gotta be a neuroblastoma, and if it's big enough to be causing headaches, get your affairs in order now - you've only got days left".

LOL probably not. Same engine as I had in my Galant, started ticking really bad (more of a clatter) & did flush/ oil change/ lifter additive & it was fine for the next3 years I had it.

Yes by all means get a garage to check it over but in the meantime
. (have seen this) . Check all the belts for tension & fan to covers clearance Make sure theres no cables hanging down & touching the belts /fan or exhaust system If you are able to do this, check the engine mounts for broken/loose rubbers,
