LOL! I always do that, because when I'm looking at the engine, it's from that orientation... haha...



I forgive you. My Dad had lake side property and he called the water's edge his front yard. Even though you get to his place, through the back yard.

If the ticking noise is a broken exhaust manifold (likely) it can be a very difficult job replacing it. Some of those 38 yr old bolts that hold it tend to snap off in the head or around the end of it. The Pontiac dealers all had drilling fixtures/jigs where the bolts could be drilled out with a left hand drill but they are hard to find. First soak with PB Blaster for a few days and hope for the best.
