Better alternative, bait him to follow you, (he will if is car is glowing in the dark) take him to a windy country road, pwn his ass and hopefully he stacks up that rice bucket. Then politely offer him a ride and when he and his passenger try to get in, make them ride in the back seat and take their shoes off due to the fact that your car is not a pile of shit nissan"

like witeshark said, it should have a tick, sound like a typewriter. if its worse than that, maybe it needs a valve adjustment.

yep adjusting the valves works on this
I used to have that but me and my dad readjusted the valves and it's pretty much gone now...
be careful that you adjust them the right spot because there's two spots where you can do so
