Loud "ticking" or "clacking" at startup
Well, everything worked perfect for a day or two :-).
On cold start up, loud "ticking" noise (not a lifter), almost sounds like metal "clacking" on metal, but isn't. Only does it first start, will not do it if I start, shut down, and re-start. Runs great once it starts.
Might even be arcing in ignition, but I do not have a clue at this point. Anyone have a guess?

So if you disconnect the fuel relay (forcing a no start) will you get the noise continually as long as the starter is cranking ?
