Hey guys, i know there is a common ticking sound problem for the brake problem. But the other day i turned my car off and was sittin right in front of it and kept hearing this ticking sound, and when i opened my hood it seemed like it was coming from somewhere within the engine. And i really couldn't do anything about it, and then the sound started going away. But does anybody know anything about it?

A hot engine will exhibit a 'ticking' sound, after being switched off, as the metal parts commence their return to non-heat expanded dimensions.
This is perfectly normal and no cause for alarm.
