Why would you hear a ticking noise in your Saturn 2001 L300 v6 after changing the ERG valve?

The Saturn V6 has always been a little "vocal". A little valve noise is quite common and most likely, if it's valve noise, you probably just didn't notice it before the repair. Many people become hyper-aware of sounds after the vehicle has been repaired. The Eco-Tech engine is well designed and can be expected to last a long time if properly maintained. It's economical, reliable and powerful.
However, if it's NOT valve noise, there could be some other problems.
Try to isolate the source of the sound to see which component is responsible.

What is that annoying ticking noise mustangs make when you change the oil?
The ticking sound is coming from the valve lifters. When the oil filter is changed, air is introduced into the system, which causes air bubbles to form in the oil. This causes the valve lifters to "leak down", which is what causes the ticking sound. It can take several days for the bubbles to dissipate. It's annoying, but harmless.

The ticking noise could be worn out rocker arms under valve covers. Switch to heavier weight oil if ticking noise subsides that could be your problem. This is usually a sign of a high mileage engine. Worst case scenario would be weak oil pump not getting oil to top of heads.

What causes ticking in the engine of a 95 Saturn sl1?
The "ticking" sound that is most common among Saturn's is caused by a slightly expanded gap in the valve spacing. It could, of course, be something else, but that seems most common. If that's what's going on, it probably isn't worth much effort to repair. Valve clatter isn't typically a problem unless it gets severe.
