A 15 dollar stethoscope with a reaching stick will narrow it down significantly.
I think that was my original question LOL If these engines were too loud to use a stethoscope effectively.

Was it leaking any fuel?I also had an injector not sealing cause a tick. I would think if it was a bearing it would make the noise at any temperature.
Also a 4' piece of garden hose held to your ear can help with non mechanical sounds

Hold it everywhere you can. It will work. Just gotta narrow it down. You can even hold it on exh manifold and hear a leak. Its not as effective at that, but will work. Oil pan rail etc... Just be careful about getting it hung up in rotating parts. It hurts ears alot.
Any noise, abd you can pinpoint exactly where it's coming from, if it's not mechanical...Are you referring to air leaks or what?
Also, a late update: Got a mechanics stethoscope. Coolest thing ever. But every valve cover sounds the same, so I'm leaning more towards the exhaust leak. Unless I should be holding the tool on the head, and not the valve covers...
