More pronounced when cold, warm, any noticable loss of power, whats the oil pressure like, same as before. Where is the noise coming from, use a screwdriver to locate the vincinity. Could be timing chain slap but from new York it sounds like a wrist pin. But if the vacuum gauge is corresponding with the tick then it would sound more like a valve. Just some thoughts. Wish i was there to help.

In your earlier post it said vacuum reacts with the tick, and its loudest at idle, now it seams the noise is loudest under load and vacuum fairly steady. Have the conditions changed. If so then maybe the driving or the fogging has helped.

Donald are you a member of national DeSoto club, if so there will be alot of names and numbers listed for your area in the yearly member listing.

If the tick coincides with a vacuum variance then the bearings are not the problem. You need to do a leak-down test as suggested or pull the head. I would do the leak down test personally. This you could probably do even if you don't have the tool. Use a rubber tipped air-gun and keep the engine from turning. Listen for the air leaking, is it the carb, the exhaust or mostly the crankcase. This will give you a plan to move forward.

For the blue it is as close to original color I could get. The picture makes it look more blue than it is. Probably from the led light in the garage. This is last year's picture and should be close to this.

I did the masking that way because it seemed easier and less tape. I just had to cover the little strip with tape. I may be wrong also just the way i felt comfortable.😉
