N14 Ticking Sound

That’s loud!

 

Yes, I see that but I’m trying to get more ideas, etc. One thing I notice is that when I’m driving, and use the jake, the sound goes away completely until I accelerate again. Could that confirm a leak maybe?

 

Do you know if a blown head gasket would sound like this also? Like the negative pressure would quiet the sound until accelerating again?

Thanks again!

 

In the process of doing that but because some idiot at pilot forgot he had a trailer and hit the front end ruining the hood assembly, it’s impossible to open without breaking the hood altogether. So just waiting but I wanted to get an idea of what to check for before I proceed.
