hey all, heres for my next problem!

Got a blowing/ticking type sound under hard accleration, tick over sounds smooth an can drive normally with it sounding smooth an fine but when i go up steep hills or pull away faster than normal it does the sound mentioned? could this be the exhaust manifold gasket or the inlet manifold gasket? and also anyone here changed these items?? i got a price from a local fast parst place an the price shocked me lol! so like the alternator problem i had, i dont want to go paying out a fair bit of £££ if its not going to solve the problem...

thanks peeeps

 

Alan,

Get over to my place and I'll take a look at it and see what the problem is.

The exhaust manifold gasket on the front is easy, the rear one is doable but a real pita. The inlet manifold can be done easily as well.
