loose rocker??
 

I just got some 1 5/8 equal shorties on my car yesterday. I had a little exaust leak out of the collector on the drivers side, but the bolts weren't tight enough so that was no problem to take care of. But there is still a light ticking sound that could be mistaken for a leak that i heard. I got closer to listen and it sounds like its coming from the top of the motor. Could this be a possible loose rocker??

Has anyone had this sound before??

does it get louder when you rev the motor? I would try tightening the header bolts first. I've heard bad things about the gaskets that come with the headers. Also check to see if you can smell exhaust under the hood before you start checking for a bad rocker

I used aluminum gaskets cause the ones that come with the headers are complete sh@#. I found that the bolts werent tight enough, that got rid of most of the sound. I still think I can hear a little tapping though.
