I have a ticking sound coming from the drivers side of the engine, its not really loud, but noticable and really light at the same time.
This started after my oil change.

 

Mine is probably doing the same thing as yours. Check out the video I made of it and tell me if it sounds the same.

possibly a exhaust leak.. or a rocker.. .. Could be both.. usually the only tickers on the motor ..

 

fuel injectors maybe??

 

Thanks all. I have been told that it sounds exatly like an exhaust leak and i am prolly gonna check that route first. Check to make sure all the manifold bolt are on tight. Thank you all again

 

There is also a possibility of the tick being from a lifter.

 

How do I tell, or fix it?

how do I cheak for the injectors as well?

I tried to look for an exhaust leak by blowing this fog like smoke stuff from a can into the engine bay and it stayed pretty calm no vortex' from moving air, but I have no idea how to check for an exhaust leak, all the bolts appeared to be tight.

thanks for the ideas, if nothing else this might give me a reason to get headers and RR's

 

it is probably injectors..the lt1 injectors are louder than most cars

 

Use a screwdriver

 

???

I'm still kinda new to this, changed my own oil for the first time yesterday.

 

Make sure your spark plugs are all tight.

 

Use a screwdriver to put up to things that you think are making the noise and put your ear at the other end. Sort of an old trick
