sounds more like a rattle then a tick but if it was a valve tick how do I fix it
Valve tick means they it's not getting enough oil on the top end. Now if you have the Hemi you have to live with it as it's not called the Hemi Tick for nothing lol

Did you replace your lifters when you rebuilt the top end?
The bolts I never touched but now that recall I’m thinking that it has to do with oil on top of the motor cause it never made that noise till after I had everything back together so I’m gonna pull the valve covers off and recheck my work. The transmission has not been touched or removed
no I did not as it never made the noise prior and everything was tight before I put it back together
I did a cam swap on mine and it sounded terrible and i had all the right parts in it pushrods, springs, locators and shims and now that i replaced the lifters its like new again with no noise the lifters on the older motors are junk i used Hellcat lifters in mine.
