My TJ has had an annoying tick ever since I bought it. I think the tick has become worse over time, and I haven't been able to find where it is. I am pretty sure I have it down to 3 possibilities. An exhaust leak, Lifter, or Valve tap.
This tick is erratic, It starts once the engine is warm and gets louder, then it stops suddenly. After a few seconds it starts up quietly, then gets louder and louder until it stops again. It does speed up with the RPM when I rev it.
Does anyone know how I can diagnose the leak myself? Is it difficult to fix? Or, where is a reputable shop that I can take it to, located in Utah County, and preferably one that knows the 4.0.?
