It isn't an exhaust leak, is it? Those can tick, and be pretty loud...
A ticking noise started, after head gasket change.
Hey, the engine was running fine before i bent the valves on accident, by changing the timing belt. The car was stumbling and running bad, with no power at all when driving but there was no ticking. So i took of the head, had a machining shop change the valves and machine the head, do a vaccum test, put everything back fire the car and there is some ticking, that is pretty loud. Do you guys know what it could be?

hydraulic lifters need to "rest" installed before starting up the car. probably you have a lazy one that is not full with oil
Started the car today, and no ticking or anything!! Im happy, its just running like crap when driving when i press more of gas pedal starts. But thats probably, because a piece is missing of my coil boot and its not getting good spark, so gotta fix that and see if anything changes.
