SSV valve replaced.... STILL TICKS....

I'm starting to think it's just a byproduct of the bridge port. Since there's overlap now, maybe there's a surge being pushed up the secondaries, causing the valve to oscillate a little, and making it tap against mounting bracket... My best guess...

Yes, and no. There should be a place across the street from the lodge to park it, but when the show is on the space will be tight. There are other spots to park though, and many cabins might have room.
