Hi:

Here is the problem. Engine recently rebuilt by me. Sounds great. Took it for a short ride and notice that when I depress the clutch pedal there is a ticking sound that is annoying. It goes away when the clutch is released. The clutch engages and works OK, new pilot bearing. And by the way the engine was smoking from the fan belt area (crankshaft area). No oil leak, I will check the belt tension tomorrow.

Any thoughts will be appreciated,

Francisco Soto
