I just read your other post that your rockers were moving side to side. Just a though did you install the squared piece that goes on the bottom of the two rockers which ties them together. Without it they will dance side to side thus producing that ticking noise. Check it out and let us know.

Yup all there! I talked to a tech today at one of the mustang specialty shops in my area and he said that the rockers are supposed to have a little play side to side. I went back,checked and re-torqued the rockers, and found some of them were not to spec. Hopefully that helps, and thanks to all who replied!
