Default exhause leak or something else...*cant figure it out*

hey fella's, have a question for some of you that have delt with this before....i never really noticed it untill i put on my headers....i noticed the other day after putting them on that there is a constant tapping, clicking sound coming from the passenger side, and i can almost pin point it as coming from the back two pistons (what it sounds like atleast) now i tightend all the bolts down on my headers Good! and i didnt kink my gaskets any when doing the install so i aint quite sure its a exhaust leak (but could be if nothing else can explain it) is there any known "problems" for why this might be or anyone ever had the same issue happen? i've read countless threads on piston slap and whatnot so im assuming this might be another possibility....as for that if that is the case can it cause harm to my motor? im doing a heads and cam install soon so i can have MTI check it out while doing it but would like to clear my conscience for now...thx for the help fella's, much appreciated!

Jon
