Does a header leak and noisey rockers have the same ticking sound

I have a ticking noise coming from my engine, and i dont know if its my headers. or rockers. I adjusted my rockers and did headers at the same time.
Thanks

A mechanic's stethoscope will help you to isolate noises like these. They're cheap and available just about everywhere (Advance, Autozone, Pep Boys, etc).

I just did headers over the winter and I really think that the RR's are louder with the LT's. I dont remeber hearing them that loud last year.

I tried to adjust the valve today with the car running. I tried doing 1 at a time, and backed off the nut till i hear it make noise, but it didnt, so i put it back together. Do you think they are to tight? I adjusted them like my manual said.

If you did it like the manual said to then I would think that they are tight.
