the intake. Could this of always been there and the stock airbox silenced it? or is it oil related? I'm using sythetic 5w-40. The sound is there hot or cold.

If it is lifter click, check your oil level; mine will ALWAYS tick if the oil is a quart low, but not until then.

My mechanic missed it, too. You always have to get your own hands dirty.
