Re: Ticking/tapping noise, 305 Chevy, Can't Figure it Out!

Yeah, there is an intake bolt pretty close to there. Seems unlikely it would be touching a pushrod though, because this is the valve side of the head rather than the pushrod side. Unless I'm overlooking something.

My PCV goes into the driver side valve cover. There is a breather pretty close to the area of the noise on the pass. cover, but there's nothing there to make any noise. The cheapo valve covers don't have baffles in them either, so I know the rocker isn't hitting that.

I'm pointing to the noise in the attached pic. For some reason, this forum rotates all the pics I upload from my phone, this one included, but I think you guys get the idea.
