So I kept hearing a slight tick around 1500rpm with little to no load. When I popped the hood I could hear a slight tick under the drivers side valve covers so I pulled the cover off. My question is how much movement should the rockers have? Mine move a little.

Movement where? At the ball where it meets the bridge?

I can pretty much just grab them and move them around. I'm going to just pull them and check for wear.

Make sure all the little feet are still on the tips of the rockers, thats something you can check with them still installed.

I would make sure none of them have worn themselves flat, if they have at all is replace them since it's nice piece of mind for the 4-500 bucks it cost (if doing yourself )
