Hi there,
I have a question about a noise that just started under the hood. My subaru begins clicking when started in the front right of the engine. It dose not appear to the timing belt but I am not sure. As I accelerate it becomes louder. However, it seems to have no affect on my engine performance.

If it sound like a clicking and not a knock then it would be the lifters. Mine had been doing it for over a year. As the oil gets circulated it does not make as much of a clicking. If it gets too load then I would take it to have the lifters checked. Subaru is know for the lifter noise.
