Ok that didnt work but here is the link. You can kind of hear the ticking sound as you guys requested. I think the exhaust is to loud i will have to do another video outside the garage and then see.

From what i can hear.. Its definitely not a knock. Sounds like a loose rocker arm.. Sounds very identical to my camaro when i had it. Never found out because the engine blew up.

I'd run alittle seafoam through the booster line. It might be a sticky lifter or something. Its not a knock so thats good news. :P

Mine kinda does the same sound. I was told it was a rocker arm, but I tightened mine down to proper specs and it still made the same sound. Perhaps a lifter or maybe your rocker arms. It is sorta hard to tell in the vid over the sound of the exhaust and vids never do true justice to anything.
