Exclamation Tick at front right of valve cover

i have a really loud tick at the front of my passenger valve cover would that be a lifter or rocker arm ive been spraying a 150 shot on it and i topped it out doing a highway run i know stupid right i just want to know what i broke so i could fix it and how much it would cost becuase its my daily all it has is headers exhaust and 4:10 gears idk if that would matter and i use valvoline vr1 oil 10w30 i just upped it becuase i usually use mobil 1 5w30.....

if its the rocker arms would these work becuase im on kind of a budget

I would pull the valve cover one of your rockers might have fallen off the valve

Ya those will work I know some guys prefer NSA rockers but it doesn't seem like you plan to rev that high

The first valve doesn't look seated so you probably bent it. A compression test should prove that.
