the day i blew the intake manifold gasket...it made a ticking noise under load, when at idle it was fine....but like i said when loading onto trailer you could hear it. When i changed my oil, it was clean....level was fine, wen i dumped antifreeze...it was clean, level was low of course from emptying thru coolant port on intake mani.
The break in the gasket...
since my oil was clean i figure my headgasket is fine.....i was gonna replace the oil pan, intake/exhaust mani, and valve cover gasket. fresh fluids and filters and swap the engine into my hatch...... i wanna get your guys take on the situation tho.
