Re: Ticking sound on start up.
Update: once ticking sound has done its thing, it is followed by a knocking sound with squealing from the fan belt area. I'm taking it down to mx 5 factory to get the roll bar fitted hopfuly they can help me with the engine problem.

Re: Ticking sound on start up.
Knocking is never good..
The viscosity of the oil matters, because when its cold its harder for the oil to circulate, or so i think. So technically it should go away when warm, maybe an oil change might give some better perspective?
