So I had to put new lifters and cam into my 16 ram 1500. Now I have a tick. It doesn't do it at startup. It takes around 6-10 min to start ticking. My bro in law, who did the lifter and cam repair, says it's not an exhaust leak. He used a stethoscope and he says it's in the engine, but it's past his knowledge. I can't hear it in the truck while I'm driving but it's pretty obvious when I'm outside the truck. Any clues what it could be?
