1998 C70 Ticking Engine

[woodau]

Hi Guys,
Just Finished installing a second hand engine into my coup. It started with no problems. It idles nicely, except for a bad ticking noise on the exhaust side of the fifth cylinder. What could it be, can I drive it without wrecking the engine. How can I fix it? See attached youtube video


Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

It is really easy to install the exhaust manifold and not get the gasket quite in the right place. If the ticking speed rises and falls with the engine speed that is probably a small leak.

It is important to get that fixed fairly soon.
