excessive valve ticking, kinda loud

[nando]

check to see if all the rocker holding clips in the right place, my pop off once, and it sounded like a broken rocker arm. They should be pretty tight, if they are lose they need to be replaced.

that too. I replaced all of mine when I realized a couple of the rockers had like 1/8" side to side play. the clips were screwed.
