hi all, my cavalier sri 16v has had a problem for the past few days now, when the car is stone cold it will tick at the top end now i have replaced the manifold gasket but this is a engine tick but only when cold, the car is regulary serviced and has bean well looked after so i wouldnt of thought it could be wear n tear alough the car has 117k miles, any suggestions, lee.

Possibly a lazy hydraulic tappet - try a oil & filter change &/or some Forte top end treatment

Possibly a worn cam of course.
