Hi all,

Looking for some engine advice...

Since the last service there's often a ticking noise coming from the engine, only audible at idle and low revs, and the when warm the oil pressure drops to about 1 (always returns back to 3 when on a run). Prior to the service there was no ticking noise and the oil pressure was always at 3.

Not sure if the oil pressure and ticking noise are related, and if indeed these oil pressure readings are a problem. Any insights into what this could be would be much appreciated?

Cheers,
Ben
