    Adjust the valves, check the banjo bolts, and live with it.

    Ticking is part of life with any BMW engine that doesn't have self adjusting valves.

    best, whit

    while your in there inspect the accentrics and all the wear points...you may have a couple worn way out and need to replace them.
