Correct.

Check to be sure the plugs are securly installed. You don't want one of those popping loose.

Also check the wires & make sure they are installed securly & are in good shape with no scuffs, nicks, cuts, or cracks. The arc across an open gap (either to the plug or from a break in wire to the head/block) will sound like a tick if it's small, a pop or snap if the gap is larger.

Probably not the problem since the sound goes away after warmup. More likely an exhaust leak.


Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
