<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">My 1976 TR6 has a little ticking 
sound at idle, as if a valve is sticking a bit.&nbsp; I am curious if I can 
assume that this is normal rattle on these engines as things wear or if I 
should start paying closer attention.&nbsp; To my knowledge the valve seats 
have never been hardened.&nbsp; I recently set the valve lash and believe it is 
spot on.&nbsp; Engine has about 54,000 miles.&nbsp; Also, does anyone use an 
oil additive on a regular basis and what has been your experience or 
recommendations.&nbsp; Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.
