Hello, my 89' 240 just underwent trauma when the front seal on the cam blew. Now, only about 1 quart of oil was lost before I noticed something wrong so the engine shouldn't have been damaged. So, the new seal is in, and I notice that there's a rythmic ticking (think old vw sound, or playing card in bike spokes) and it's coming from under the valve cover. When I increase speed, the ticking speeds up until I hit about 65 then the road noise is so loud that I can't really tell anymore. It's been about 500 miles since the seal change and I had to deal with bad alternator brushes in the mean time, is any of this related? How serious is the ticking? Thanks, any ideas are much appreciated
