Welp, many of ya'll were right! whoever installed the aftermarket headers before I purchased the car didn't torque the bolts down and cross threaded half of the lug holes in the head. Thankfully I was able to fit a tap in and carefully retap the beginning of the threads in order to find the original thread passage. Got it all back together and the tick is gone. Thanks!
