Default I broke something

Im hoping its just a bent pushrod, LOUD ticking noise from the driver side valve cover, no service engine light. I hit the rev limiter this morning and thats when it begun. I was planing on doing a cam valve train swap this weekend, one in my sig is not yet in. lucky me if it is a pushrod, but if its a valve, the car is in park for awhile. Does it sound push roddish to you guys? Tick Tick Tick, like an exhaust leak but not.

Sounds like a push rod but pull the valve cover to find out-let us know what you find out.

Any news Scoobs? Just get it to my house and we can start pulling that side off to see (and hope) it is a push rod. It sounded pretty bad on today when I heard it. Give me a call and we can work something out. If not I'll give ya 250 for the cam kit!

Well i just pulled the valve covers and the rockers, the 5th pushrod back on the driver side is broken in half. Im on my way out now to get a tool to get the rest of it out of the head.
