Hi David,

It could be several things.  Some light ticking is normal.  
You might try an oil additive.  Iâ??ve used Marvel Mystery oil with every oil 
chnage for many years and I first started using it after I had a sticking valve 
on a Chevy Impala at the suggestion of a mechanic and it freed that sticking 
valve right up.  Iâ??ve used it ever since.
It could also be your valves needing adjustment, but it sounds like youâ??ve 
done that.  You might recheck it to make sure that an adjustment nut didnâ??t 
come loose.
Lastly, pull the valve cover off and make sure that you dont have a broken 
valve spring.
 I had a light valve ticking on my GT6, which sounded different than usual and 
it turned out to be a broken valve spring.  
Hope this helps,
Frank
