Does this V12 tick sound normal?

Hope you guys can hear the ticking, is that normal?

No oil consumption, no smoking, nothing weird, everything is normal, never heard these V12s before so was wondering if that was normal?

Mine doesn't sound like that

Mine doesn't sound like that either . I think a ticking noise was covered on another thread sometime back IIRC.

I can put my ear on top of the ticking if I put my ear on the manifold.

What makes you think PAS pump?

That sounds like the spitting from an exhaust manifold gasket failing on the right hand bank.

I would have thought that would burn your ear sufficiently such that you will no longer hear the tick and hence effect a cheaper repair than any of the other suggestions.

My first proper LOL here Pete :-)

Mine certainly doesn't sound like that either!
