Check your spark plug wires? Are they all seated correctly? Mine mad a valvetrain type noise that I even thought was a rod knock untilll I noticed plug #5 wasnt seated all the way...

Also yeah. Its hot here. Run a thicker oil deffinately. Im goin 10-40 and it hasnt burnt any so far.

could be ticking from improper shim clearances. its a pain to check and change them, but gotta do it sometime. Mine does it also, just dont have time to change them
