Slight engine ticking.

Fire up the sled after sitting for 10 minutes and hear a ticking sound for about 30 - 40 seconds.Any thoughts?Still goes good.

If the sound goes away,it's possibly the pistons rocking in the cylinders.If the sound doesn't go away,it may be wrist pins if they are Wisco

Sure its not the sligh tick you hear from the clutch? There was a thread on this in the Nytro sectio a while back. They make a noise that could make you confused for an engine noise. FYI

What are you running for oil? Sounds like dry cams/valves, it goes away as soon as the oil makes its way back up to the top of the engine. Try a full synthetic or heavier weight oil.
