I think I had a tick and an exhaust leak.

I replaced the gasket and ran it for a while, quieter, but still a slight tick.

I had the original metal gasket, like an idiot tried that, defiantly have an exhaust leak.

Hence now I will try to put the 2nd BBK gasket on, if it goes back to the same tick (the one that stays is small, but consistently how I described in the 2nd post, I will say lash adjuster or when AM had the tune messed up, and the car through a cam position out of phase alarm, maybe it chunked a valve? not sure....

Either way, gonna put this gasket on:

1.Sound goes away, great!

2.Sound goes back to the quiet tick that is always there, continue troubleshooting or replacing.
