Default Funny Ticking noise.....

Hey guys i just put headers on about 3 weeks ago, and now i have this funny ticking noise. Not sure if this has to do with the headers. All of the bolts are on tight so not sure.

The noise is coming from the drivers side of the engine. Any ideas?

i know you said that you tightened all the bolts, but it still sounds like an exhasut leak. Did you use your factor manifold bolts for the headers, or did you get something else???

If it is an exhaust leak you will be able to see carbon from where it leaked out, it will be black. You can use a mirror to check where you cannot see from the top.
