when hitting the throttle i hear a ticking sound, i know its not the air pump cause i took it off, and im pretty sure its not a exhaust leak, i heard someone say it maybe valve lash but im not sure what it is. so please help me, if you need more info ask and you shall receive

 

also it seems like it does it more at lower rpms than higher ones

 

today i reset my valve lash and it still makes the noise, i know its coming from the lifter area, if it is a stuck lifter is there anything i can do to unstick it, somebody told me to use some marvel mystery oil in the crankcase but please help noise driving crazy!!!

 

ok i know someone on here has had the problem of a strange noise thats not an exhaust, so please give me some info

 

Could be a bad lifter.
