Default Misfire/back fire/vail system issue

I'm having this issue with misfire and all that I read doesn't seem to be my issue , I was at bbr about a week ago and jeremy heard the ticking noise I've been talking about , and told me that either one of my valves is bent or bad springs, I was like and possibly bad rocker arms too , it's just so odd because this car has 67600 its a 02 camaro z28 m6 I run royal purple in it , I asked him about the back fire and miss fire and told me that could that the valve/spring issue could be the cause. I dont have rear o2s not cats my pcm has been tuned the fronts look good though , it only misfires at idle and kinda lags from a low rpm then is ok once your on the higher end , I have msd wires stock coils.

Any one know if the springs or valves could cause this?
I'm planning on getting new rocker arms springs valves (rollers if I need them)and push rods. But I have no clue on what to get I need help on this

but jeremy told me I could that he new a guy that would like port n polish my heads for about 200 if i did that wouldnt that change my specs for the valves?


I know this is long but I really want to get this issue done and over with and done right the first time , way I've always been and only way to do it . PLEASE HELP ME SOME ONE !!!!

Could be lazy o2 sensors, the heaters might not be getting the sensors to operating temperature. But once you throttle up the exhaust heats the up the rest of the way.

Would make sense ,but I'm throwing a knock sensor code now for some reason It just started again it will come on and go away after I put my cat back on it came back on I haven't seen the code since I got my tune which was like 6 or more months ago and those sensors just got replaced about a year ago at that , but whats odd is my sensors are a very nice color no signs of lean or rich so its weird , any other ideas that I may need to consider along with this?
