I have a 2007 GT and the drivers side valves are ticking. I took off the valve cover and it appears as the first exhaust valve is loose and making the noise compared to all the other exhaust valves.. Would this be the lash adjusters??? I only have 19,000 miles and ran synthetic oil from day one.

I would check out TSB #05-15-8 and see if it sounds like what you are hearing. This TSB applies to 2005 models but may have trouble shooting info you might fine valuable. Also, there is a possibility it could be the cam phasers making this noise if the noise goes away above 1200 RPM.
