If you can pin point it is under a valve cover only pop that cover. If its to hard to tell get a mech stethescope to assist you.
Check the bolts on the headers, vaccuum lines, everything. You dont want to get into a huge shop bill or parts bill until you are positive it is needed.

yea i've pinpointed the sound to be coming from the drivers side number 3 cylinder using the mech stethescope. I've checked all the exhaust manifold bolts, spark plugs, i've pulled the valve covers off didnt see anything visually. Have not ran the car with the valve cover off. I've been thinking about it and i'll prob end up doing the work myself and using the extra money i would of used for shop labor for some upgrades while its apart.
