id say your lifters are going flat does the ticking go away once its been running for awhile. if not that then maybe your rockers are just loose. ever since i put the cam in mine it ticks as well but its really quiet and can only be heard with your head in the engine compartment so im not really worried about it

Pull the valve covers off and check your rockers first. Did you use loctite when you reinstalled them? How many miles on lifters?

Check for puked needle bearings from the rockers too....

LS7's have been in mine for over 20k and holding up......
