I recently developed a loud ticking noise from my 4.3. I removed the belt and no change. So I grabbed a length of heater hose and found the ticking is coming from between the starter and block. Checked same location on the drivers side and no noise there. This is my first post but I've been searching posts all night before I decided to ask. Love the sight BTW!

sorry to jack your thread but my '97 4.3 blazer is making the same clicking noise on the passenger side underneath the hood. I also flipped the serpentine belt and no change. Spun all the pulleys with the belt off and no catching or squealing. posting a video of idle and slight reving. IMG_2199_zpsc49b7377.mp4 Video by YoungSS | Photobucket
Im leaning towards something under passenger valve cover. Idle is normal and there is no hesitation during acceleration. I will also check this loose spark plug theory. anymore thoughts are appreciated.
