Engine Noise

Can someone please tell me what this noise could be? It started on the way back from the beach(around 300 miles). I'm thinking it's a lifter but I could be wrong.

Hi, first post...

Sounds like an exhaust leak to me. Take a few feet of fuel hose or hose pipe and put one end to your ear and carefully move the other around the engine until you zone in on the sound.

Look for a cracked manifold or gasket. Hopefully that's it, bearings are more expensive.

That sounds no where near like an exhaust leak lol. its either a lifter or a rod about to let go.

Figured it out, It's a rocker arm loose, too bad there not adjustable.
