Clicking noise from valve cover?
So I've noticed that when I'm sitting in a drive through or in my garage (beside a wall) I could hear a slight ticking noise and it would speed up when I revved. It's not too loud or anything. I've been ignoring it for the past few days but it's starting to concern me. I popped my hood today when I got the car in the garage and started listening around for it. Sounds like it's coming from under my valve cover. Is this normal? Or did I break something? Car has 26k miles on it. Just got the oil changed today. Thanks.

yeah my car does the same thing, the sound is on the right side of the motor. My mileage is 28k so I would say the sound is normal... and no its not the fuel injectors

i know its a silly q but did you check the oil after the change? it takes 6 a qt less wont cause a tick but they could of possibly put 3-4 to start then forgot to check!
