ahh back from the dead. And holy slacking on my part. between lack of time and lack of space in the garage to work on it. (2 other car restorations in progress) At this point i will just try and do this in the home garage and bring what ever tools i need back and forth...yay...not so much. But i might as well while it is still winter and dont mind the down time.

Update on this thread...
I swapped my mivec cam gear, pulled the intake cam and checked the valve train...nothing looked aloof or askew.
Put it all back together, torqued everything down and then cranked it for a long while to build up pressure. Started it with no accessory belt on (to eliminate power steering, alternator, a/c, etc).
Noise is still there.
Now eliminated:
mivec cam gear
power steering pump
a/c pump
alternator
water pump

When the engine work was done, was anything done to the head? After all you have checked and done I'm thinking maybe a sticky valve or tight valve guide.

i am having a similar (or maybe the same) problem.
Here is my noise

My sound is only happening on "combustion" though. when it rev's back down there is no sound.
I'm super confused
As discussed here, it sounds like it's coming from the intake side of the valve cover.

The thread starter's problem ended up being really low compression on 1 cylinder, also related to rings I believe.

I'm glad you've found the problem, and the engine shop has claimed liability.
At least you didn't destroy the whole engine!
Good Luck with getting it all together.
I'm going through similar problems with my engine, and i know how you feel! It's not fun!
Cheers, Mike

Hey guys, I have had similar issues with my 9 as of rescent. It all started when doing a 6th gear pull to around 250Kmh during a recent road trip (silly I know, but it was a very important pass in mountains 
). It felt like I had hit the rev limiter, then I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a bit of white smoke. Car ran fine for another 300-400 miles afterward until I arrived to a nearby city where I began to hear a ticking noise. It progressively got worse from there.
I took it to a nearby shop, where we drained oil, ran sea-foam engine cleaner through and put in some new heavier oil. Ticking was less audible at this point but still present.
The next day I did a full throttle pull in 2nd and 3rd gears and my car just died, I lost throttle response,and again I saw some white smoke from exhaust. I coasted to a stop and car didn't start afterwards and it sounds like one of the cylinders is down on compression when I'm trying to turn it over.
Needless to say I left the car and flew back.It should arrive next week and I with my local shop mech can tear into it to have a look.
Has anyone's ticking noise progressed so far as to car not running??
Thanks

Same thing happened to my old 6bolt DSM motor. I had 480 miles on it when it started making a funny noise very similar to whats going on in this thread. Pulled the motor apart and one of the clips in the piston let loose and started tapping against my cylinder wall. I won't name the shop that built it, I will say they are in PA.
