Its really not that hard to type one more letter. Its, the. Say it with me now, the. Good now that we have that settled.

It may be that the car got hot and the cat got warm. You could hear metal expanding which makes a ticking noise. It could also be the emissions solenoids ticking. Let us know if the noise persists.

its normal. check your oil. usually the ticking is the result of the coil over plug ignition. sometimes it can be your valves and you might need an oil change. how loud was it?

the other thing is that there's numerous ticks in the evo. the normal rpm fast ticking could be the injectors... maybe you never noticed.

a rapid rpm fast ticking could also be a lifter, collapsed bad or unhappy with your motor oil.

a car that's turned off and has parts cooling will tick erratically and slowly.

typing tick tick tick tick on an internet forum doens't tell us how fast it is on a metronome and it doesn't tell us shit about where it's coming from, how loud it is or anything.

please... if you want help, post in the right section. then post DETAILED information, try to find out what's goin' on as much as YOU can so WE can then find out what's going on and then maybe guide you in the right direction.

in all technicality we're not here to diagnose your car... we're not certified, at most people tell you your car's not blowed the fuck up and maybe it goes away. if it's bad we can tell you you blowed the fuck up and drag it to our favorite shop that we like to whore out.

so with this in mind and in perspective... please post accordingly.

Ticking probably being caused by excessive valve to cam clearance. Most notably caused by high temp hard running. Should clear up once engine heat cycles again.
