Engine sound help

[radicalr6]

Hey all,

Pop open my good today and hear this ticking sound from passenger side, rear of engine. Not sure what that it's. Here's a video of it, please help my diagnose this tick.

Well two things come to mind:

1: tapping valve
2: exhaust leak

Try to put you hand near the exhaust manifold to see if you can feel some air movement. Each manifold has it's own gasket, and that one could have blown out, so check the last 3 cylinders.

I'm going to go with an exhaust leak; it sounds too deep of a sound to be lifter/valve - and it sounds like it involves air, and has the tempo of a single cylinder. I'd suspect the gasket at the cylinder head./ exhaust.
