Default Re: Ticking like a Time Bomb (Engine Noise)

That ticking sound might be one of your lifters. When you first start it up, one of them isnt getting the oil up into it as quickly as the others causing that ticking sound. Thicker oil just means it will take longer to get the oil where it needs to be. I'd take it in and have it looked at........cause if it is the engine, and it gets worse, you could lose a cylinder.
