I found it loudest when I had the scope on the engine head, and at first my instructor and I thought it might be a valve noise. However as we kept trying to pinpoint it we figured out that it doesn't happen on both sides, and that it was awfully near where the spark plug wire plugs in. (technical terms those :-) Anyways judging by the sound we heard my tick seems electrical, and it's only on the one cylinder. Driver's side closest to the cabin. And it gets faster with the revs obviously. I was just curious to see if anyone else had noticed this, or if I'm just paranoid (I know I am actually, but it does worry me).
