>Hi! On my engine initial start-up I had a loud ticking noise, increasing
with revs. Found it to be engine oil dipstick hitting the crankshaft.

I was sure hoping that was it. But I started it this morning and guess
what??? No ticking at all, other than the ussual lifter noise. I tried the
dipstick and I could get some noise from it if I moved it around just right,
but that was not the same noise as saturdays. I hadn't run it for maybe 2
months, I'm wondering if a valve may have been stuck just a little and with
the fresh gas washing over it and some time sitting after I ran it, if it
may have released itself. That's all I can come up with now. If it happens
again I'll quickly pop the valve cover off and see if anything is noticable.
Thanks anyway.
