I haven't really noticed. I'll have to pay more attention lol. The reason I asked, if both my old EF Tickford Ghias had a weird ticking noise coming from the front left guard...but they were loud enough to hear in the car. Was weird. They were both 6 cylinders though

Yep the tick never was there whilst the car was a 6. Bloody noisy as an 8 though. One of the wrecks I had they'd wrapped it in a rag to quieten it down. I will definitely be doing this on mine!!
