Subject: Valve adjustment? ? ?

Message:
I am hearing a bit of a ticking noise here lately from my R/T. I am not sure if is a valve tapping or an exhaust leak. Do these valves tend to loosen or tighten up over time? They are adjustable I assume...

The valvetrain automatically adjusts via the hydraulic lifters (non-adjustable rockers). If there is ticking in the valvetrain, it may be due to a collapsed lifter. I'd rule out the exhaust first.
