The damn thing is ticking and when i'm giving it gas it sounds like i have a exhaust leak. When i pop the hood it is ticking louder on the passanger head. What can be the problem? I think it maybe a valve. What do you guys think?

Wait!! on the motor, you said it is the passenge side?? MY 96 Cobra was ticking on the pass. side, I though it was the motor. After I got my exhaust done, the tick was gone......***Come to find out, the donut gasket in between the stock manifold and the H-pipe was leaking, you could see all of the black smog on the outside of the metal.*** So check that gasket, on your car, before you go into the motor.. Good luck, and let me know, I'm curious.
