Possible crack in the exhaust manifold Or warped on the face of the manifold

99 Ram 2500 with 153,000 and a V10 that all of a sudden starting a tick tick tick noise while running/idling. The noise came on instantly. I immediately did a compression test. High number was 160. Low number was 135. I saw a youtube video that someone had the same ticking noise as my truck engine. He removed the valve cover and a rocker arm bolt had sheared off causing the tick noise.
My question is: Without removing the valve covers to look for broken/loose rocker arm bolts, would the compression test readings tell me what I need to know. Meaning: wouldn't I get a real low reading if the intake valve can't open and no air is able to enter the cylinder on the piston's downward stroke? 160 to 135 is too much of a difference between cylinders if you ask me. Yes the compression will be lower if the intake valve can't open at all, might be higher if the exhaust can't open but even if they partially open then compression will be affected. I think you need to pull the rocker covers.

He removed the valve cover and a rocker arm bolt had sheared off The same exact thing happened to mine with 48K miles on it. Pull a valve cover & take a look.

OK. Here's an update. I just removed the valve cover from driver's side. The valve train looks good. No sheared off bolts. Everything is snug. No loose parts. No broken valve springs. But here is what really concerned me. I noticed small traces of anti freeze pooling in the head. What does that mean? That means really bad things. Most likely culprit is a crack in a cylinder head.That's the only way i can think of coolant getting under the valve cover other than being blown in through the breather. That, in itself, would also be a very bad thing.

I was afraid when I saw the anti freeze under the valve cover that the motor was toast. I just stopped working on it and figured its time to hunt another v10.

First thing I would do is crack the drain plug in the oil pan and see how much green comes out first. Then I'd pressure test the cooling system before I went into panic mode. Kevin
