RE: [DML] Loud Ticking Noise

["Jeff Friday" <DeLorean_Type304@xxxxxxx>]

I found the valve train can be responsible for these ticks and perhaps an 
exhaust gasket leak.

I had this problem on my old car.  I removed the valve covers and performed 
a valve adjustment.  Afterwards I still heard the sound but it was muffled 
and the engine was more pleasant.  I found a tiny leak in the exhaust gasket 
on the drivers side.  This was the second culprit.
