I have an Elantra 2003 GLS with manual 5 speed. It now has about 91k miles on it and there's a ticking sound coming from the engine which is noticeable at idle speed. At higher RPMs the ticking goes away, but maybe it's just drowned out. If it were an old V8 I'd say "valve lifters", but I don't know if that's relevant here. Any thoughts about what the cause and cure are? I'm in California and will be getting the timing belt done when I get a little closer to 100k.
