Hello i am new to the grand prix scene..i recently bought a 97 grand prix GTP "LOVE IT" approximately 128k on it the guy i bought it off said the engine was replaced with a engine with 100k on it.He sold the car to me for $1400 and i couldent pass it up so i bought it.And after buying it..it dosent seem like he kept up on the maintenance so far i have given it new spark plugs "ACdelco" and spark wires along with oil change "10w30" and a intake.I didnt notice this light tick? on the back half of the engine until now :confused: and after doing some research only thing i could come up with is the lifters ticking or the spark wires weren't on all the way,well i checked the wires and they seemed on all the way. I made a video showing the noise.. if anyone could tell me what it is and how bad it is or how to fix it would be great thanks.

Heres the video
