Hiyu mate .. welcome aboard the CBRF

rattling ticking noise

Definitely over heating I would say..
If after 20 min she goes again it sounds like shes cooling off enough to run for a while again ..

Quote:

weired like compression noise

That prolly is the pressure getting out somewhere ...maybe the radiator cap ?? ....have you checked to see if shes discharging into the overflow tank ?

Sounds like a stuck thermostat or a dead sensor ?
Does the temp gauge show over temp?

Don't think an oil change and filter will stop it , but it cant hurt ...its good to do them regularly anyways ..

BTW : Need any help around here just PM me :-)
Some fast find links are below mate ....use them with my compliments ..

Good to hear you found the cause of the rattling, hopefully it doesn't overheat anymore. As with oil, Rotella-T 5W-40 synthetic is good stuff.
