It may be a pulled wrist pin or a spun crank shaft bearing or connecting rod bearing if the ticking is more like a knock. if it's a ticking, then it may be a bad lifter. Inspect your radiator coolant level and condition. Your engine oil cooler may have gone bad and is leaking in to your radiator and mixing with the coolant.
The coolant would also be be working it's way in to your engine also and coolant is corrosive to the internal engine bearings. Good luck and keep us posted if there is any coolant and engine oil mixed together in your engine and radiator.
Thanks Molson for your reaction! You have been very helpfull! Yesterday we listend to the ticking and it seems to be in to the left side in the top a the engine, seen from the driving position, probebly in the second or third cilinder??? I'am going to check the fluids!
I will keep you posted, regards Eddy
