Well I'm not expecting to find my exact problem right now, but just want to get some ideas as to my ticking im hearing.
When the noise is present; Under load WOT in high rpm.
Could be going 20 kph, hit the throttle and about 35-4000 rpm I start hearing a fast ticking(with a rattle??), pretty loud. Could be doing 70kph and hit the throttle to 3/4 maybe more and right befor every upshit at high rpm it ticks then stops once it shifts.
Some background on the vechile.
Burns oil, seen some days when it was 1-1.5 liters down.
-maybe ring flutter, which is why im lossing oil
-or something in the valves area
Runs too rich when WOT.... maybe cat is now failing and knocking around??
These are just some ideas i have... another one is the toque converter failing but not likely... that one i pulled outta my a$$..
If anyone could help out here to help narrow down my problem, or atleast rule out an area... I dont have access to my shop, im in college for another 5 weeks
Tranny fluids been changed 4 months ago, seems ok..old,dirty but alright
