I have had a ticking noise under the hood of my 1995 Mustang GTS for about a month and a half now when i first start the car or when i accelerate. It does not sound like an exhaust leak as i popped the hood and revved the engine. Sounds to me like it is coming from the valve cover on the passenger side. The internals of the engine are all stock with 156,000 KM's. The problem came up after i had my new clutch installed on the vehicle. Could it possibly be a valve or a lifter?, Do these things usually go in 302 engines? What could i do to fix the ticking? Any advice on what this could be?

PLEASE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION -> -> -> -> <- <- <- <-
