2002 Ranger Making Clicking Sounds.
My buddy is a ref, and tried to explain to me the problems of his 2002 Ranger.
Im a little shocked that it's a 4 cylinder..but whatever.
He claims the engine is making "clicking" sounds, i cant find too many specs on the engine itself, but i need to know if it's an interference engine and what possible problems it could have before he takes it to his mechanic, cause he wants a "quote" of some kind for repairs.
I told him to check the oil, seems fine..it's at exactly 95% full..so that's ok..but im thinking the piston is slapping the valve if it is infact an interference engine.
Help him/me out.

It's also a quick way to dry leaking wires so you can get your car started in the wet.

And you'd have to be REALLY close to hear a sparkplug arcing.

I realize that, just the first thing that came to my head, but i have also heard water pump pulley clicking....where about is the niose coming from, more specifics if possible.
