Hey guys i need some help on a noise that is coming from my six. It sounds like a ticking noise. It is not the header and it is coming from under the VC. I think it is a pushrod loose or something but i dont know. Could yall please help me. Thanks.
 
it increases in speed in time with the RPMs?
i'd say you guessed correctly, mine did that semi-regularly
take the valve cover off and retorque all the bolts down, should solve it
good luck
 
If that doesnt work, un-do the rocker arm bolts and remove the rocker assembly. Take out the pushrods (remember the order you remove them with!!) and roll them on a flat surface and see if any are warped. If they are, get a new set. IIRC it's not too expensive.

If not, then maybe you have a sticking lifter (a problem I had). If this is the case, you'll have to remove the head and obtain a telescoping magnet to yank the lifters. Fortunately it sounds like your engine is probably run regularly, so the lifters should be easy to pull (in cases where they're stuck, sometimes you need to pull the oil pan and drive out the lifters from below).
