Want to hear a story about my 350 v8 in my truck?

Ok ,,then I will tell it with as few words I can

I had a ticking noise and installed new gaskets on the exhaust manifolds as I have headers and know that some times they do not fit real good.. ,, and by tightening the bolts it seemed to stop the tapping noise,, but it kept coming back..
After having a couple home machanics try and fix it with no success ,,by installing new gaskets ,I took it to a garage and the machanic told me he believed the tapping was coming from inside the valve cover..
So I told him to pull them both and check see what he can find ,, he did and found that I do have roller rockers and after he set the lash on them both sides my ticking has gone away ..
I was almost ready to sell the the truck ,, now I think this will be the last truck for me to own.. I was worried as I have always owned a truck .
Ever have a problem like that and almost ready to sell to get rid of it?
