ya, man its nothing to pull the covers and rockers and check stuff out, When I did my cam install after all my rockers were torqued and re tourqued, ran the car for a little while, killed it, started it back up and had a mad tick, first I freaked out then pulled the covers and one rocker came loose, dont know why but it did, tourqued it back down and everything has been cool, for like 6k miles

I know what rod knock sounds like as well, but I am just telling you from experience. I had what sounded like a valve train tick and it ended up being a spun rod bearing. No real damage was done because I caught it early. When you hear a rod knock then you have a bigger problem. To be safe, the next time you change oil, open up the oil filter and you will be able to have a better idea of what is going on in there...

I guess if the boot wasen't connected properly it could make a tick as it jumped to ground.

this is coming from the dealership and as they said "it shouldnt hurt anything" so i dont know what the hell to do?? Would replacing the wires with say MSD 8.5 cure it?

Try your best to push the wires on both the plug and the coil packs. Number 8 will be a real bitch but the rest are pretty easy to get to. If it is a wire not connected right than you could also wait for night and open the hood while the engine is running and you should see which one is arcing.
