Can a ticking noise that only ocurs on the road, under load and past a certain rpm be attributed to a front oil seal? The noise seems to follow engine speed and is regular. My front seal leaked almost as soon as we put it in. As in my previous forum, I do not think this is related to drive train. This seal is the only obvious thing that is not working properly.


I am now thinking that this sounds like the engine is "pinging" because of too much timing advance, either initial setting or full advance. Try setting the timing back a few degrees and see what happens.
