I previously had issues with ticking which turned out to be broken bolts and a cracked manifold. I replaced with shorty headers and the problem was gone for a week or two. Now I have two new issues: a very rough idle/stall on cold starts when the temp has been in the 40's overnight, which only happens once per day and also an irregular tick. The tick from the original manifold issue was a continuous tick, tick, tick, tick, tick sound. What I'm hearing now is a tick, tick tick...pause...tick, tick...pause...tick, tick, tick.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing these new issues? I'm thinking the gasket for the headers may not be completely seated correctly and causing my rough start, but that's just a guess....This new ticking sound is also a head scratcher....
