Get a video of said noise.
ditto
will do so but how do i post up a vid on here lol ive never done so?
Just like you would a photo. Use a third party site like photobucket/imageshack and paste the link to it here.
Youtube definitely works too.
Agree with the long rod trick. Helps but can be tricky

Update guys took it to a local small shop trustworthy they listened to it said its minor valvetrain noise nothing to get hostile over. so im not too worried but if it gets louder ill go into depth. they say to add a stabilizer lucas or somethin similar?? militec? im extremely happy now any good suggestions on oil and filter let me know please thanks.
I have valvetrain noise also. It's not anything to worry about, the lashers just make noise sometimes
Great to hear well not really but ya know what i mean lol. does anybody have suggestions on what filter and oil to go with its been on synthetic so im staying with and should i add an additive like militec 1????? thanks
dont add any crap to the oil...just change it with synthetic oil and keep driving it...no additives will reverse what is already done, the car will run forever with that noise.
Add some marvel mystery oil and drive it for a few days. Change the oil with your choice of 7 quarts of synthetic oil and a motorcraft filter and the sound may "mysteriously" vanish lol. I've read that marvel mystery oil cleans things out and who knows what.. so I tried it on mine and I honestly think my valvetrain is quieter now lol. If not.. you only wasted $5
i looked in the manual it calls for 6 but i notice everyone keeps saying 7 quarts why is that?
