Strange sound coming from under the hood?

Hi everyone :) 

 

I own a Ford Focus (second generation, it's from 2007) and recently, I keep hearing this ticking sound coming from under the hood.

I went to the mechanics and they didn't find any problems so they say it's normal... well it's not normal to me! 

 

So, has anyone else ever encountered such a problem? It's like a weird fast ticking noise, it's driving me nuts!

Hi

It's about the valve rockers mostly your car is over 100.000 Km and timing belt still original (factory installed) and even if replaced it want change that sound since it's non-adjustable type so you have to change your engine oil to thicker grade (10W-40 or higher) to fill the gaps and warm up your engine before driving and drive 10 to 15 min before starting the AC for the first 10-15 min (non-applicable advice!) and you'll feel the difference that was may way to drive my 2008 for 400,000 Km problem free for 4 years.

 

other than that you can go for rebuilding engine head and no grantees on the results!
