It could be.

Dont use pattern gaskets, genuine GM are multi layer metal adn much better than the composite rubbish.

Not many gaskets and seals requried on the manifold but, quite a bit of labour.

Could be a noisy tappet.
Had this on my V6 - a couple of oil changes cured it.

Does the sound go once the car has warmed up but come back under hard acceleration?
