Engine ticking loudly after leak down test
97 Miata with built engine running efr6258 turbo. I ran a leakdown test, which turned out good with only 10-15% leakdown.
I started the car today for the forst time after the leakdown test and now the engine is ticking pretty loudly and it never has done that before. It seems like it's I'm the top end somewhere but I'm not sure what it could be or how the test could have caused it. Here's a link to the video on YouTube.

Nevermind. I guess the air pressure from doing the leakdown pushed the oil out of the lifters ans they were being loud. After driving around a few minutes the engine quieted down and sounds normal.
