Clicking noise? Please Help

[stang2b]

I have a 93 GT and all of a sudden I have started noticing a ticking sound coming from around the valve covers on both sides, more on the driver side. It only does it at about 2500-3000 rpm. I don't hear it at lower rpms or at higher. I thought it might be lifters or something to that nature, but wouldn't it click at lower or higher rpms as well?

oil pressure alright?
headers leaking?

good luck.

Oil pressure is great, and I can't feel any air around the headers, or would I be able to? I tried flooring it in 5th gear at low rpms but it didn't get any louder, so I didn't think it was the headers (which are stock).

my friend has a motor with only about 36000 miles on it in his stang--it's a stock motor--and it does the same thing but at about 1200 rpm, but on the passenger side. u could check your pushrods and rockers for slack if you're really worried about it. mine does it at idle only---also on the driver side. both out cars have good oil pressure ane everything--and the lifters are in good shape-- so i guess it's normal. i wouldn't worry unless your noticing any other problems- smoke, stuttering, crud in the oil, ect...

good luck!
