Re[2]: Dire prophecy?

     Sounds goofy, but if you have one of those mechanic stethescopes (you 
     know like what the doctor listens to your heart with, but with a steel 
     wand)  you can listen in and pinpoint it exactly.  I think I picked 
     mine up for <$5.00, and it is also fun to listen to your valve train 
     with it, etc.  It comes in really handy on my bug motor when I don't 
     want to confuse exhaust noises, with internal noises.

I dont know which one it is but what you can do is reach under there and 
feel for the one thats clicking. Id say thats a good place to start. I 
know its not much, but its what I got for ya. 
     
I hope this finds for you something usefull in your quest for what clicks 
you.
