Hello it's a long shot but maybe I'll get lucky .
I recently purchased a 97 cobra and after I changerd the oil there is a
Tick coming from the motor I've researched a ton and get plenty of ideas
Of what it could be but need a professional opinion.
I drive it daily right now and it has no issues at all
I'm in the cincinnati area and am wondering if anyone would be able to take a look .
Beer ? Money ? I have a little of both but am no mechanic I just need to be pointed in the right direction or pointed to the right person

Give Adam at S&M Motorsports a call. He's the go-to modular guy in Cincy.

Any idea what the noise is yet? Its such a common problem with these cars. Mine is a 98 and luckily no noise though.

How many miles? The timing chain tensioner have a tendency to tick when they get some miles on them.

Sorry it's been so long don't see many people making posts but the car has 163 k on it and it drives great
I'm sure something is wore and needs replaced . I just spent quite a bit on rear brakes and axle bearings . Taking the car to the shop mentioned above is next but for now it's my daily driver and is up for trade for a 4x4. But anyway timing tensioner would be amazing if that's all it is

Some of these motors just make noise and nothings really wrong. I guess it depends on the volume and type of noise. Ill bet there is a youtube video where you can hear different ticks and sounds.

I've searched them all and found something similar so I have a good idea just needing time to actually get it looked at . I'll work on getting a video posted
