I hate the ticking in my 09 RKC,,,,I want to hear engine noise and my pipes. I have switched from SNY3 to Mobil 1 and now run Amsoil with Lucas Oil additive,,,,,,,what else can I do?

What ticking Senior? I'm on an '09 RKC and haven't heard what you're talking about. Can you be more specific?

The sound of a sewing machine running.....my 09 RKC did that during break in. Just did 1000 mile service and used amsoil. Its much less noticable now.

Mine makes a ticking sound coming from right under the front of the gas tank, sounds like a plug wire arking, but when I look there I can't see any light show, is this what you are talking about? I would love to know what that sound is.
