I fired up my 88TA tonight after buttoning everything back up this weekend. After the engine warmed up and settled in, I noticed there was a fast rythmic clicking that came from the passenger side heads. I shut the engine off in case the valve train was the problem.

It's a fast clicking sound, quite loud, from the passenger side heads. I also noticed that chugga-chugga sound from the exhaust instead of a smooth sound at idle.

Any clue what might be causing it?
