Get them to idle another 535 beside your car - or ten feet way. Have them listen to one then the other. Have them explain why your ticks and the other one doesn't.

I would stick to getting this problem properly sorted out, and have some months of worry free driving under my belt first....then maybe, MAYBE look at some mods. You don't want anything making the picture any more cloudy than it is right now.
