I know, I was about to have mine crushed. Bought the car all stock. Ran nice but had to mess with it. i done a cam swap and the hell began. After a couple 100 miles it developed at bad tick, tried every differant length pushrod made, nothing helped. Then broke 8 of the comp 918 springs so then I switched to duals. ran good for just a bit and started ticking again. So I pulled the heads and put new lifters in AND a new cam again. Going back togethor I moved the ac condensor too much and broke the ac line. So now my air doesn't work. Anyway after all the **** it still ticks 
Not bad but I can hear it. It was quiet before I messed with it. I even have the correct length pushrods so maybe the ticking is normal with a cam, hell if I know. But I was very lucky when my single springs broke. It could of been bad.

Looks like the upper pieces of the outer valvespring to me. I wouldn't drive it around anymore until I fixed that. How many miles on the springs?
01ls1lover: Not everyone has bad luck with a cam swap. Mine's going strong with almost 30k miles on it.
