Default noise from engine

maybe someone can HELP I hear a tap noise from behind the near the manifold. the noise is not the valves but when you rev the motor the tap gets faster and goes away not really loud but loud enough for me to hear it as the car gets warm the noise goes away . if any has a weird noise or have similar or have any advise let me know

if you have lots of mods, avoid the dealer... but if your under warranty you could have them take a look *haha. anyhow, our cars are not known for being quiet. what your hearing isnt that uncommon. like psi said bout, our injectors are noisy little boogers.

I had the exact same issue in my car, and it was the lash adjusters. They also did the TSB to champer the cam caps while they were in there.
