chances are very high its an exhaust manifold leak, very common. the studs that hold them into the head of the engine like to break off. i had to do my left side with 4 broken studs. cost me about $400 to have the shop i take things i dont want to screw with do it.

I believe ive pin pointed it to the ac compressor. The tick stops when the compressor stops and or cycles.
