well i just got home from driving the wifey.. and the ticking has stopped?????? suggestions?
 
lifter tick hey.. like i said its comming from right by the left headlight.. mmm i talked to my dad (machanic) he just got home he said it might be weather related.. mmm.. weird.. it just got super cold here all of a sudden soo.. ill keep an ear out for it :p cya guys!
 
when it gets real cold..my lifters tick when i fist start the car up too...and they are the revised lifters. go figure. wait till it warms up and see if it still does it. also, this is a long shot..but maybe its starting to crankwalk. I DOUBT IT but when it starts to...the crank sensor starts to tick because the crank is now hitting it. dont take this to heart, but if your clutch pedal starts to get stiffer and the ticking gets worse...well, your "f'd in the a."
 
BOOST CONTROL SOLENOID ? WASTEGATE SOLENOID ?ITS RIGHT BY COOLANT TO LEFT BOLTED ON FRAME.
Sorry for caps
