Don't go through all that work just because one mechanic tried to get you to spend a few grand there. At least do a compression test yourself and try to find the problem.<b>12 SECOND DUAL STAGE DRY NITROUS POWERED 98 A4 V6 CAMARO<br /><a href=\"http://www.mysickcamaro.50megs.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.MySickCamaro.50megs.com</a><br />Best ET: 12.82@103<br />Best MPH: 104.7<br />Best 60\': 1.75 - Stock TC</b><br /> </font><blockquote><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">quote:</font><hr /><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Originally posted by Shodown:<br /><strong>1DV6 runs 12\'s...enough said. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Comment

i did the compression test and everything was okay. the spark plugs are gapped 35. I talked with my father and he mentioned that i should ge somewhere else. umm, i check the exhaust to see if there is a hole or somewhere but no hole. to describe whats going on more in detail. when i start the car. for the first 10 second is starts to make a ticking noise. after that it idles normal. when i accerlate right above 2500 rpm it starts to make the ticking noise. the higher the rpm the ticking noise gets louder.Comment

Does the rate of ticking change with RPM or does it stay the same speed?Matt

Sounds like a HEADER GASKET!!! Not head gasket...
Or it could be your RKSport headers because they ABSOLUTELY FRICKING SUCK DONKEY BALLS~!~~

Check header gaskets.
It doesn't take much to pop them off. Remove the gasket.... inspect... and update us.
Then... since no SES light... I'm steering away from engine related damage....
You wonder why a 35 shot has possibly caused damage...... maybe you may need to read up a bit on it... check the link at the top of this section.... what was the jets?Race car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6
