lifter? push rod? something else?
ok ive been looking though the forums at alot of diffrent posts about ticks and knocking nosies witch have worried me a bit but i have a video of what my noise sounds like
VIDEO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJle-5qws2c
it happened after i was a wot racing a mustang, there was loss in power after that no real ticking nosie then a day after i started hearing a ticking noise in the motor witch has gotten a little louder as time went on. the bonnie still runs good when your driving normal, when you go wot in frist it will take it fine but when it shiftes to second it ticks louder and bogs down
and if its hard to read what im typing im sorry just tell me and ill try at fix it but i cant take my car apart at all i got to go to work. thanks in advance

While i can't see the Tube from work...lemme toss out a couple things.
Pull all the plugs and inspect them. Any marks or bent electrodes should be noted, photographed and posted.
The way you describe what happened suggests a chipped piston. Although w/o seeing the vid..that'* a little off the hip.

You would need to get a compression tester, see if you can rent one.
Right now I would say it sounded bad because that cylinder was not firing. Put a new plug in and see if that helps. When the end brakes off it tends to go out the exhaust.

Typically when a piece of piston is missing etc compression won't be compromised.
To double check things, I'd change the oil and all the plugs...then give it a try and see if it'* still making the noise. It doesn't fully sound like a bad motor, obviously the shavings aren't a good sign. I have a feeling about it though.
