clicking noise from engine
I was listnening to my 5.4 today and there's a clicking noise coming from the wear of the engine/ transmission area its like a click a second and increases with the speed of the motor. Could it be a lifter? Valve? Improper spark plug gap? Anybody have this noise? Thanks!

I read a thread a couple days ago where someone changed their spark plugs and found a spark plug loose. They had a tick that they assumed was a lifter, but after the plug change the tick is gone.
I agree with alloro though, check the exhaust studs, that's a pretty common source for ticking noise.
I like to use a piece of hose (water/fuel/vacuum) as a stethoscope. Move it around to different areas on the engine. You can get down to the spark plug bores and move all around the exhaust manifolds.
