What is this clicking sound, please watch.. [Video]

[MonteMX]

So the temp has finally been warm enough to roll the windows all the way down and enjoy the weather. On the way back from work today I starting hearing this weird clicking sound the whole way home while driving and it continued after I parked and let it idle. I've heard the sound before but never this often. It is happening in 13 second intervals. I have attached a link to the video of this happening. You can hear this sound in the video at times :5,:18,:31,:44.

Also I recently had head gaskets replaced at the dealer and ever since my truck has been impossible to start when warm. More than likely its prolly the STC on my HPOP. Could this have anything to do with this clicking?

Thanks for watching the video, I really appreciate it.

Could be that...

Also could be an injector not getting oil, and dry firing.

yea the AC nor any controls were turned on at the time of recording. So i guess this means this is probably worse than I originally thought.

yes it is, if your having hot start issues, you have an air leak in your HPO system and that is an injector dry firing.
