    02 ES v6 making strange noise

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2NxlONesXs

    That is my galant at 101,000 miles, and that is the sound it's making. It's definetely coming somewhere from the head. Some have told me lifter tick (I don't think so, it's way too loud), others have told me exhaust manifold leak.

    It only happens at cold starts and goes away after a few minutes.

    What do you think? I know it's hard to diagnose just from an online video, but any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    It could be a lifter tick or an injector tick.What weight oil are you running in it?
