April 22, 201015 yr I did the head gaskets on my uncles 91 legacy wagon and now when I start the car it ticks really loudly. I tried reinstalling the belt quite a few times but it still ticks. So can It run with maybe 1 tooth off but tick? Also the rad it not installed.
April 22, 201015 yr <<So can It run with maybe 1 tooth off but tick? Also the rad it not installed.>> i dont think the timing belt has anything to do with your ticking.
April 22, 201015 yr It will run a tooth off. Your engine is not interference so the ticking is not the valve hitting the piston. The lifters may have to pump back up, this can take some time. 5-30W oil is recommended.
April 22, 201015 yr i installed a 96 that had been sitting for over a year and it took a while for it to quiet down, but it finally did. it made a racket but after i put it all back together i let it just sit and idle, it took a while.
