Question Strange noise

Hey guys, I thought I had a header leak because I'm hearing a ticking noise coming from the engine (doesn't sound too serious) but now that I think about it and listen more closely its coming from my intake manifold....i did an ls6 intake swap and dont remember the noise before then. is there some kind of gasket I'm supposed to need besides the 8 small ones for each port?

No other gaskets for the intake

Could it be a loose rocker or lift tick maybe? 142, 000 miles

Do you have adjustable rockers? If so check valve lash and ensure you are no exceeding the manufacturers specs.
