    ill get a vid of it up... pulled out the stethascope and it sounds like its coming through the valve cover, front head, right side.... if i pull the cover will it be something obviously bad, or can you not really tell by looking/feeling the rockers and such? i have to tear it apart next weekend to do the Lim gaskets anyway so what should i check? and how do i check for a bad lifter? i can spot a bent/ bad pushrod.. again ill work on getting a vid of it up today.

    Sounds like you've narrowed it down to the area of the #5 cylinder.

    Will the issue be obvious? You say tick, we ask for more info, I don't think we are in a position to tell you if it'll be obvious visually. Sometimes the internet diagnosis can be tougher than others.

    Certainly you can pull the pushrods and roll them on a flat surface to check them. You can look at the springs to look for breaks etc. I've seen some crazy stuff and cars still ran good. Hop in and look it over, probably the best we can suggest.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
