Also called "dieseling" that my friend would be a problem with your motor being out of time

I don't think he's talking about his car dieseling.
Is it kinda like a ticking sound coming from under your car?

I think he's referring to the clinking and popping noise that the exhaust makes as it starts to cool off.

Sorry 'bout that.
Hey Roderick, if that's the noise you're talking about, don't worry about it. The popping is just the metal exhaust parts contracting as they begin to cool.
But don't quote me if you have connecting rods and oil puddles in your driveway. :uhoh:

You can cut it, but if you want to trade your car. People might want to have the feature...

And carnut is correct, the sounds come from cooling components
