Hi everyone...
Today I noticed that my 98 Mystik (2.5 V6) is making a really weird "ticking" sound, sort of like a movie projector. It seems to be coming from the intake manifold area of the engine, and is really loud, althought it can't be heard from inside the car.
I recorded the noise: (115kb WAV file)

I'm guessing it's the valves, although I just don't know for sure. The car has 240,000km on it, and has never been rebuilt... is it time?
