Here is my story, when i first bought my 2004 Nissan Titan it had a little ticking noise when I first started it up. I cracked the bottom of my original radiator at about 80,000 miles and replaced it with another plastic single core one. at 100,000 miles I blew a head gasket on cylinder 3 so I pulled the engine, had the heads steam cleaned, and reinstalled with new multi-sheet metal head gaskets, new exhaust manifold gaskets, new spark plugs, new valve stem seals, front and rear main seals, new valve cover gaskets, and all other gaskets and RTV, new water pump, and new thermostat. Right after I got it back together I noticed that my right (bank 2) cat had broken up and went through my flow master exhaust so I installed a new Nissan exhaust on it. I haven't replaced the cat and exhaust manifolds on either side yet, but I still have that stupid ticking noise. I know its not from a exhaust manifold gasket leak because of the new gaskets and torqued to specs manifolds, any ideas? Also what is FFV and is it important to buy FFV manifolds? PLEASE HELP
