Default Help me diagnose my mystery tick.....

My car has developed a pretty nasty tick coming from the motor, i think. It speeds up as the RPM's increase. Other than that the car seems to run fine. Compression test showed this...... 200, 180, 195, 195. I changed the plugs when i did the test and the tick was still there. Can anybody help diagnose this or lead me in the right direction? Thanks.

Valves.
When's the last time you had your valves adjusted? They probably need adjusted

Valves or Fuel injectors maybe?

Sounds like you need to adjust your valves. here is a good article on Adjusting Valve Lash

I adjusted the valves about 3 months ago, could it be this bad already?

Can you determine where the sound is coming from, I'm talking about if its coming from up top of the motor or the bottom end, if its coming from the bottom end you probably spun a bearing...

Adjust your valves.
That sounds like a symptom of mis-aligned valves.
