Wait.. Wait...... When did the ticking start? is this your first set of headers? With header leaks, a pulsing/ticking sound is a primary leak, a solid hissing is a collector leak. Headers generally are a little more noisy due to the thinner walls of the tubing compared to the log manifolds.
Check your header bolts. I had a leak on my driver's side rear when I first installed my headers (2004). Re tightened the bolts and it was good to go.

I had a tick after my cam went in. Ended up being the o-ring for the pickup tube on the oil pump. Now.....no ticky.

No i did not do any oil pump as ive only had the car a few weeks. Previous owner had the headers put on from what he was telling me not that long ago. You can hear the tick better outside the car next to the tire than undr the hood. The ticking was there when i bought the car, but i thought it was exhaust leak. Had the leaks welded but tick was still there although not as loud as before.

If you can hear if from the tire area, almost underneath near the collector, that's the #7 cyl lifter noise then. You said you checked the pushrods? it's something along the lines of the oil pump, the o-ring or the pick up. I'm pretty damn certain of it.

Did you do an oil pump, though? I had that problem w my buddy's ms4 swap. Check a couple pages back, I posted a link.
