Ticking noise in motor

[Shane_68C10]

There is a rythmic ticking noise coming from the motor in my truck. it goes in time with the firing of the motor and isnt very loud but you can hear it if your standing in front of the truck, it is a 350 any help appreciated.

thanks shane

I had the same type of sound a while back and found that it was coming from the water pump, could it be the same for you?

it could be one of your rocker arms need adjusted or a lifter could be sticking, it could be a slightly cracked manifold or the dougnut gasket just started leaking.
