ticking 89 caravan

[tathiela]

I have no idea about cars, but I've got an 89 grand caravan, and there seems to be a ticking coming from the er..motor?

I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions as to the cause.

Thank you.

There are many causes of ticking from a belt tensioner to a rod. In your case I would believe that the problem is a noisey lifter. It causes no harm to the engine. If it starts getting louder you may want to have a mechanic look at it.
