Name that noise
I may be a little paranoid, but I've never heard this sound before.
I just did a coolant flush, and start the car up. Still warming up, I hear this "tock-tock" sound. It seems to be coming from the front of the engine around the water pump. Definitely sounds like something is rattling against another but I can't see anything. I get freaked out and the turn car off for a minute, then when starting again it's gone.

The fan is blowing into the mic a lot, but you can hear the ticking.

when i did the cooling system flush n my 85 gs, it made the same noise. scared the ******* out of me at first, then it just went away. i figured it was just air in the system or something.

hmmmmmmmmmm.
After driving around and even after I let it cool off for about 5 hours I couldn't get it to make the same noise. Perhaps it was just bubbles coming out. Though it was a bit loud and didn't happen when I did the coolant last year.
trochoid, it's a "tick-tick" sound about every 2 seconds.
