theres the vid of it, could it be sparkplugs needing replacement? ive done seafoam on it and no difference

sound like its your valve, but I could be wrong

thats normal, it's just the valve train making noise.

should be the valves... Generally I don't think it poses a problem other than being annoying somtimes. I believe you can get the valves adjusted and the tick will go away?

My 2.2 has that exact same rattling sound in the valvetrain too but it goes away if I rev the engine a little. You probably need the valves adjusted for wear if you've got lots of kilometers on it.

Can be normal. Fuel Injectors tick...

Pinhole exhaust leaks can tick a bit as well.

Sounds a little worse then it should be, but you can't tell from a video.

My 95 V6 has had that tick since my parents bought it in '99. My mechanic says it's from switching back and forth between Dino and Synthetic oil.
