Loud Clicking Noise
Hello,
In the three months that I have had the car it has been making some clicking noises at ldle from the motor. The increase with the increase of RPMs, but you can only really hear them when you are driving if the widnows are down and you are in a parking lot. The noise does not sound like knocking valves, are these the injectors I am hearing?

its possible you have low oil pressure from the oil pump bolts falling out. If this continues it could lose the pressure that holds the timing chains tight which can lead to disastrous results. A ticking noise with the windows open isn't good, at idle not bad but should go away when driven. Possible that the oil is too thin too but the pump bolt thing is way too common with the V8s.

Possibly low on oil? Have you tried that?
