Here's a short clip of what my engine sounds like running. I've had misfire codes so I'm already doing a complete top end rebuild, but just for schnitz and giggles, is the sound on the video the infamous hemi tick? I know my exhaust manifold bolts are likely broken as well so, my guess is the sound is a combination of the two.
Thanks fellers.

Yup, rule out exhaust bolts that one might be exhaust related. If bolts are tight, try a lube strategy, dump lubegard biotech in sump. Awe, I see you are going to replace cam/lifters. how long has it ticked like that?

It's been ticking like this for the last few months, it just wasn't as prominent as it is now since the check engine light came on and i started having this misfire/cam/lifter issue. I had the exhaust bolts replaced once before and I'm sure they're broken again.
