Okay so I bought a Sileighty a month or so ago with 105K original miles on the KA24E and its always had a little put-put sound from what I was told was the EGR tube. It always goes away when the engine is warmed up so I drive the car like a grandma until its gone.

Today I did the same and when the put-put was gone I noticed a terrible tick tick tick tick tick tick tick. I noticed the sound even at highway speeds so I pulled over and popped the hood. It was pretty loud and it was constant.

I said phuck it. I turned around and went home and when I got it back on the highway the sound was gone. I pulled over again and popped the hood. No more tick tick tick tick tick. WTF?

I dont know what caused that sound or why it came and went. Anyone have any ideas?
