another sound question

Ok I rebuilt my engine and the rockers kept coming loose but now thats fixed. anyways at idle the car sounds great, if i rev over 2200 in gear or neutral it sounds like a loud hard tick almost like a chattering and speeds up as I go faster....anybody got an idea, i might make a video if sound quality is good.

Re: another sound question

Sounds like a loose rocker eh?
Rocker stud pulling out? Pull a valve cover and lay a long piece of flat material across the top of all the studs, if any one is taller than the others, that's the one that's pulling out.
