Ticking noise after beating on it?

you guys are so ******* gay.
s/c noise? sometimes they make it when they are hot.
or valve lash, im honestly not sure if these cars need there valves re-adjusted like other eco-mivecy, vtecy cars do. i only put 30miles on my car a year, so ill never have to find out.

Usually ticking means expanding/contracting metal so I would agree it could be overheating of some sort.
If your intercooler pump is not working, your intake temps could be sky high. I'd check that. Listen for it when you put the key in the ACC position, then feel the hoses for pressure/flow.

it could be injectors my car has a slight ticking....but the ecotecs have a high pressure fuel system and thats the sound of the injectors kicking on and off.....at least that is what my service desk guy said at the dealership....he said the noise is even louder on the 2.0 it has actually scared people away on the lot from buying them

wow its a rough morning your 2.0 just looked at where this is posted its probably your injectors

Do this test:
Go out and beat on it till it ticks, and then turn the motor off. Does it still tick? If so, its your cat-back. Its just the metal expanding and contrasting due to heat.
If it doesn't tick anymore... then you know you have an internal motor problem. Which could be lifter tick. The question then becomes, do you have a proper level of Oil in there?
This...
Usually lifters will tick upon initial start up... and go away. And if they don't go away, they're usually a constant tick. Its probably not the lifters, but it certainly could be.
