Unhappy 1997 clicking noise

ok recently my truck has been making a clicking type noise... its worse at start up and after driving it for a while it will go away. it gets worse at start up when i put it in gear. i climbed under the truck today and it sounds like its coming from the oil pan/back of engine/front of trans. im thinking possibly a bent/damaged rod but its not constant and i didnt think rod damage would stop after warming up. please feel free to ask any questions and give all the advice you can... thank you

Welcome to the forum

A broken exhaust manifold bolt will click at start up and as the manifold warms up the clicking will become muted.

aight i figured out what it was.. the starter was worn out and had too much freeplay which caused it to hit the flywheel causing the ticking
