Under any type of load (light especially) I can hear a really constant popping/ticking on the driver side of the block. Popped the hood tonight in pitch black and just about all my plugs have a small glow to them but I've seen broken/snapped plugs before and they aren't like this but what could the ticking be? Wires are good plugs fresh 5-7 thousand miles on them.
Let me know

Header bolts wiggle loose occasionally. I've got Mac copper gaskets and love them
