i hate that dreaded ticking sound lol. last time i heard that, i had a spun bearing. yea, messing with your only car isnt the best idea. i got some friends doing that now. sold their escort, the 240 has no motor and they are modding their srt and at the race track every day. i wont feel sorry when they blow up the engine cause he doesnt have a wideband on the car and is being to cheap to get one and is running a tune and dont have a clue how rich or lean its running

Ok so it over revved? When it's idling does it sound like it's up in the head or on the block? If it's in the block then the bottom end is wacked somehow. You could have spun a bearing, streched a rod or rod bolt. If it's up top you may have broke a valve spring, you may even bent a valve, if it over revved bad it could have had a valve hang up and been smacked by the piston.
Either way, sounds like it's gonna have to come out.

Its gonna be somthing in the head.. Over revin will blow black smoke but if u have ticking in thr head from a over rev it could be valve spring. Rocker.... Valve stem.. Ect.. If u dont have a.stethescope use a screw driver flat head mainly and put the metal end on the valve cover and listen with your ear everywhere on the valve cover. Also check ure oil level.

pull off the valve cover just to be 100% sure. rather it be in the head then in the block. the head is alot easier to take off and put back on
