alright i just got my motor back up and running and fixed the oil leak now i have a pretty loud ticking noise pretty sure it coming from the valve cover. ive read up on the lifters and im going to check those now. but another thng is when i rev it just a little i hear a really loud like crack sound... sounds like something is just hitting metal to metal that noise is only when i rev it maybe 2rpm. the clicking is always just when idiling. can i cjeck the lifters with only taking the valve cover off? and any ideas on that loud click when i rev it a little. could it be the chain not tight enough? ... and i know its not my injectors i know what that sounds like it much louder

you mite have thrown a rod bearing....mine sound similar to that when it happened to me....my oil line busted and drained most the oil when i was on the highway...if u keep starting the motor, it will seized (hand crank if anything) and the rod will eat into the wall.....try removing the oil pan and see wassup...GL
