I just listened to my ZC, and I can hear a SLIGHT ticking sound. This could just be from my valves (need to be adjusted), but its making me paranoid. I'd know it if I'm knocking, right?

BTW, I run 89 octane. Pulls hard and runs great.

 

If you know your valves are not adjusted yet, do that first, and eliminate that out of the way.

I need to, I just havent gotten around to it.

 

a "tick" is not a "knock" it would sound like somthing Knocking in the engine, not on top. also knocking is usualy produced from carbon buildup and is caused by pre-igniton.

i'd sea foam it and try from there.

 

I've always been hesitant to try seafoam, but I guess a little cant hurt.

I thought it would be a more noticable sound, too. I dont think I have any reason to be knocking, I'm completely stock.
