well the weird thing is that it really only ticks when its warm and when it's idling under load (like while stopped and it's in drive) i didnt notice it at all in nuetral before but now it is doing it, and it's gotten louder however its still quiter in nuetral than in drive. while im driving i do not hear it, nor do i hear it when my rpms are above 900rpms or so while stopped.

im not sure what it is, but it definitely sound slike its coming from under the valve cover. the sound is kind of hard to explain, its not a real "tick tick tick" or "tap tap tap" sound, its more of a "clerkclerclerkclerk" sound, with less of a peak in noise like a tap, its kind of steady with a smaller peak.

my rocker arms really dont have any play on top of the valve but they do seem to be able to slide a little side to side between the guides or whatever they are on the side, enough to make a small noise but im not sure if its the same or how to fix it
