Gasket?
My cars going for mot in the next week or so and after fitting a 4-2-1 stainless steel manifold there's now a ticking sound coming from the engine bay, any ideas what this could be? Possibly a leak?
Thanks

Yup sounds like it's just not nipped up enough little more might do it
Cool thanks,
Is there a sequence to tightening up the bolts or doesn't it matter? Also should the bolts be new or is it okay to re use the old ones?
Thanks again!

Old should be ok but new ones are always nicer to work with , don't think there is a sequence tbh I'd work from the outside in tryn keepin it as even as possible , was the gaskets renewed at the change ? Might be another cause .
Yeah new gasket but it was slightly different in that the standard gaskets were 4 separate pieces and the new one was one piece. Hoping I don't have to replace that

It's best to fit new nuts as they will be even harder to remove next time as being heated up and cooled down lots of time does things to metal, new nuts also have a locking collar so they don't work them selves lose.

Thanks for the advice guys!
I've bought new nuts so time will tell. I'm dredging having to do this as is a bit of a mission with only car ramps to work with!
Wish me luck!

Is it not just easier to take the inlet manifold off to get better access rather then struggling from underneath
Good point, I'm pretty new to mechanics but is that the better way to go? Someone told me I could mess up something if I took the inlet mani off?

a bit of toilet tissue waved about round the joints will help you track down any leaks, if you see it flapping about there you go

If you have removed the inlet manifold recently then you may be fine removing it again but you will need a new gasket if you have not removed the inlet manifold I would leave it well alone as it can be difficult to remove it.
I worked from under the engine at the back as you can easily see the 4 bottom bolts and you can see 2 bolts at the top either end of the head it's just the top 2 middle bolts which are hard to see.

So I tried the tissue method and it didn't move this was after installing the new nuts. It's still making the ticking sound though! If it was the mani gasket would the ticking sound speed up with acceleration? I tried tightening the inlet mani bolts but they didn't budge. Any ideas what else it could be?
