Default 11 month old jk with "ticking" in engine
Folks
I have a rubicon that has a ticking noise from the rear of the the engine. It's hard to locate exactly. It is related to engine rpm. Car runs fine ie no impact to performance.

Dealership has had a quick look and doesn't know what it is and is calling the senior jeep guys (I guess the cleaners looked at it first)

Anyone had something similar? Any ideas? Does the V6 have a windage tray in the sump?

Thanks

Your exhaust manifold bolts are loose. You can tight them urself or tell the dealer to torque them properly.

im getting the same thing but to me, it sounded like the heatshield tin around the manifold tapping against the pipes when I accelerate and such...

I say it 'sounded' like, because now its alot louder, generally before the engine starts up and accelerating through lower revs. Havent been driving it alot lately which is a good thing but not enough time to really open up or take it to someone other side of town...

aussieotto, did u get it sorted out?
