They have been in for 10-15000 miles. I'm hoping there pre igniting and causing my noise above 1500 rpm. On my way to get new one now. I think new coils are probably in order soon too. And a new tune

That plug looks to be burning oil and the rest look to be running pretty rich.

Sounds good and thanks.
What hole did the plug that I said looked like it was burning oil come out of?
How many miles are on the car?

It came out of the passenger side closest to the fire wall. I had a mechanic come look at it today and he says my tick is coming from then passengers side. I'm about to go back to the barn and pull the cam cover off

Everything inside seems fine. Can lobes are worn evenly. All cap bolts are tights nothing looks out of place. I did put my valve spring tool on a couple exhaust valves and when I compressed them the lifter came up over 1/4" maybe even 1/2". They all seem to be the same tho. I thought they were collapsed at first but they all would have to be if these are

The lash adjusters don't have 1/2" movement in them and should only have .060" preload at the most.
