Hey, thats my Head LOL!!!

Anyway, i have never seen this thread & there is alot of good info in here. But as u can see, my head has the blue paint, & guess what, my engine ticks like no other I have ever heard before. I always noticed it since I bought the car with 30k miles on it. Im not sure if its getting worse, but when I added LT's & took off the cats, the noise got louder & u can hear it come out through the driver side tailpipe... It even got louder after I installed a tubular K member, I guess due to the fact that I dont have a huge chunk of metal blocking the side of the motor anymore which would dampen the noise....

Sometimes, I think its an exhaust leak, but it sounds more like a tick to me??? Its really starting to bug me to the point where I want to fix it, but its honestly not worth the huge expense it would be to rebuild the heads....
