    Default thermostat stuck car overheated

    Now we have a tick from the passenger bank, it get louder with more rpm.
    I have trick flow heads, and re checked and adjusted the rockers, non really seemed out of adjustment, a couple I gave another 1/8-1/4 turn
    rocker wear seemed to be right in the middle of valve stem.

    What would be a list of likely culprits due to a car overheating?

    The noise seems to be valvetrain related, but I am no pro, when it comes to diagnosing noises

    Could it possibly be a header or exhaust manifold leak
