Ticking noise?
Trying to figure out what I thought was an exhaust leak....
I had put aluminum collector gaskets in and it still made the noise. Took it to the exhaust shop and they welded it solid. What a waste of money.
The noise is still there and not sure how to target it.
It gets louder with higher rpms. Sticky lifter? Flywheel?
Any easy way to narrow it down?

Use an old chunk of garden hose or wood broom handle and use it as a stethoscope. Easy to find the source of the tick. I use the broom handle. Put one end on the motor and press the other end right behind your ear.

It would make sense to me that they would. It's an arm that's gets pushed up and down. The faster the rpm the more it moves up and down. Maybe someone that knows a little more may chime in.

Mine probably is an exhaust leak. I cut the cat off a while ago to take the insides out and then welded it back on, I was never able to get every little pinhole closed up. Have a small hole in the muffler too. My whole exhaust system is rusting from the inside out

Fuel pump rod usually sounds like a dull slap slap noise. Or sometimes a rattle noise. Kinda muted cause they're inside.
A common tick noise at idle that increases with rpm could be a cracked flexplate.

Is there an easy way to confirm its the flywheel? Just a visual inspection? Will it do any harm? PO said he put in a new clutch. Perhaps they didn't replace the flywheel or damaged it in the process.
