Default Help!!...TICK,TICK,TICK

Hey everyone i have a problem. My fox is making this constant ticking sound, it's mostly on the Driver side in the engine compartment and it seems to go back through the header. I have no idea whats goin on. Valves? some type of exhaust leak? Please help

Might be a header/exhaust leak, i'd check that out first... definitely easier to fix than a rocker

i would agree check you header bolts and make sure they are tight...and it they are good to go then next i would tear off that valve cover and check the rockers....make sure your oil pressure is good...
