Exhaust manifold leaks will do that too. Check the downtubes for leaks also.

If there aren't any leaks, with the engine running, cover the exhaust tips with the palms of your hands (use a rag, they get hot), and you should be able to stall the engine. If there is a leak, you'll hear a whooshing sound where ever the leak(s) are.Originally Posted by 535ibimmer

Does it sound like it missing? might want to check your timing and you secondary.
I'll bet it only comes from one spot on the valve cove( use a long handled screw driver and touch the cover and listen throught plastic end)just adjust your valves down to 9thou...I'll bet you have a worn spot on you came somewhere
