Re: Tick out of the engine.

G'day...

I'm new here as well so no problems!

I drive a Ford Laser which is probably the Aussie equivalent of your Escort - mine is a 1.8l with the Mazda motor. Offhand I believe the American Escorts of this era had a Mazda engine. Anyway, I have noticed that the engine on mine tends to tick at idle on occasion and can also be heard when driving. Try checking the oil as apparently the engines tend to get a bit tappety when the oil is low. Obviously if it is low top it up and see whether the noise goes away.

Good luck!
