Engine noise after changing rocker arms

Not normal.

Take a good look at the water pump just for giggles. Also, the noise (if internal) sounds like it may be timing chain or tensioner related.

I’ll give it a look but i notice it only starts making that sound when the engine is hot, i run 5-30 full synthetic oil

So i got fed up with the noise and took it back to the mechanic shop who replaced the cams,rockers, and lifters and he found that the chain was loose and is charging me to replace the timing for that side. Is this ok or should i fight it because i don’t understand how the chain was fine before but once the job was done it’s “loose and worn out” of nowhere. For all this money i put to fix the regular pentastar tick i could of just bought another engine....

RR:
In my opinion, he should have assessed the timing chain(s) while he was in there the first time, and replaced them then if they were "loose and worn out." Sounds to me like he did a sloppy job, and you are paying the price for that. A good mechanic will offer a warranty for the work done, and if not done correctly, the additional required work should be no charge to you.
