Tapping on start

[beads]

My 08 5.7 hemi has started ticking loudly after the engine has started. It starts about 10 seconds after start and goes away after a minute or two. I have 2 EGR related error codes, and plan on replacing the EGR shortly, however I am unsure if the ticking could be a result of the bad EGR, or if I have something else going on. Sound seems to be coming from the passenger side, more towards the firewall than the radiator

Thanks for the kind words bud, but the other two know way more than me.
