Re: [ST] K&N filter/Tight valves (and a little humor)
The sound clearly comes from the cam covers. It's also not a sharp sound
like a loose rocker arm or header leak. I realize the engine has shim and
bucket valve actuation/lash adjustment. I just thought it should be
quieter.

It's not normal. Could possibly be leaking exhaust downpipe gaskets - makes
a loud ticking noise and does seem to occur on '02 models
