Uh oh....

Driving recently I am hearing a ticking from the front end. It comes on when the motor is warmed up. It sounds almost electrical, but all plugs are connected. It fades as rpm's increase.

It's a tick sound... there is no smoke white or blue. There is no coolant odor.

I do not believe it to be an exhaust leak... but first step is to tighten header bolts...

Ideas?
