Default ticking between manifold and head when freeway driving

Recently my car started ticking coming from the intake manifold and driver's side head. It gets louder when rpms go up. So far its only been doing this when I'm freeway driving for about 15 minutes(maybe it does it when I drive for 15 minutes regardless?). When it started doing that I quickly turned the car off for 2 minutes. After turning the car back on you can hear it faintly then go away.

Check your header gasket on Drivers side, could have blown out.

Are you sure its comming from the intake and the head, and not the exhaust manifold and the head?

If its comming from inbetween the exhaust manifold and the head, just change the gasket out. Its easily done and it you will be sure thats not the problem anymore.

Check your rockers, they might be loose.

Im replacing my cam and lifters right now because of that stupid noise .

I ignored it because it would come and go from time to time .

One freeking lifter just cost me 650-700 bucks in parts and hours and hours of work .
