exhaust leak? any aftermarket exhaust. 02 defouler can warp the c ring and vibrate. recheck your valve adjustment

 

Posting an update on my findings

I was able to do a valve adjustment today. Everything still looked great, I only did a few very minor adjustments to really get it to spec. But there seemed to be nothing loose enough that would cause valve tick.

I also checked my pulleys and almost everything was smooth and without sound. The only potential issue I found was with the AC clutch assembly. The front plate made a few ticking sounds in the same spots as I turned it. However I assume that doesn't turn unless the AC is on, which means I have yet to locate the cause of the sound.

I will attach a video below, please let me know what you all think.
