I had a new engine put in my Jeep last year. A remanufactured 4.0 with a stage 2 cam. ( was only a few bucks more so why not) my exhaust manifold was cracked then but we just put it back on anyway. I changed the exhaust manifold last week and since I have developed a click or sputter sound coming from the engine. ( I’ll add a video today when I drive it) it happens at idle very lightly and then while driving you can definitely hear it when the engine is under load. Coasting at one speed it almost completely goes away. Becomes way quieter then my tires. I have tried looking stuff up online but I can’t find anything other then lifter problems that go away when the engine is warm. So I’m wondering if
A. I installed the exhaust manifold slightly off and it’s still and exhaust leak just not as bad
B. An internal engine problem that I need to go have checked out
C. Normal behavior for a cam in an engine ( I’ve never had a larger cam put in)
D. Something else completely.
Thanks everyone in advance.
