Re: Ticking/Knocking noise from passenger side of engine
I currently have a bad exaust leak aswell and its driving me nuts to. Go and get some new exaust gaskets. If you have headers get some exaust gaskets for headers for an LT1. MR gasket makes a copper set that im going to get that will gurintee you no leaks (suposodly) but i dont have part numbers, youl have to call autozone or summit.

Ok, I tried the screwdriver method and found out a ticking sound comes from here:

all eight of them, somehow I dont think its the same ticking... I will try and get a video of it, btw, it only sounds when the engine is warm.

yeah, what I was saying is that that's the only ticking I heard when I used the screwdriver. But the other ticking is still heard and it's from the passenger's side. and its LOUD. I'll try and get an audio clip.

Try the screwdriver/stethoscope on the manifold bolts of the intake. Thats where i heard mine the loudest. Already smoked 2 sets of lifters, sounds like your problem to me. Revin' to 6500+ while bouncing off the rev limiter on a delayed WOT shift turns out to not be the best of things for the lifters (ie. floating valves).
