Mine sounds exactly like that. I always assumed it was piston slap. I routinely drive it like I stole it but it's not gotten any worse. Maybe I should change the cam and all of the other stuff while I'm at it.

My sound came from the rear of the driver's side too. You could hear it the best if you put your head down near the driver side front tire, in between the tire and the side mirror really.
so what would my noise be?? its like that ticking but not nearly as loud..is this normal? ive noticed my 91 Z28 makes the same noise but slightly louder but that also has 107k miles....
i have the same noise as in the sound clip only not nearly as loud and you can only hear it when the hood is open or when im up against a wall where the sound reverberates. coming from the passenger side only... how bad is this?
