thanks

ticking which is gettin louder on idle

beats me, but it could just be something rattleing against the engine while its mrnning?

or...check the butterflies to see if they aint lose.

thats common for 20V engines that are given crap oil. Dont continue to drive it or else you will likely need to grind your crank.
