Help LOUD TICKING !
ok my pony is ticking loud!
I got pissed, the shortblock is new and so are the heads .
I REMOVED THE VALVE COVERS AND THE NOISE WAS ALOT LOUDER(YEAH OIL EVERYWHERE, FROM RUNNING MOTOR).
Anyhow, I tightened all of my rocker arm bolts to see if the noise gets lower and nothing! NO EVIDENCE AT TOP OF WEAR ETC.
The only thing i did not replace during rebuild it the camshaft, camshaft bearings and the hydrolic roller lifters!! which im starting to suspect somewhat,
and i tightened all the nuts till they stopped and still the noise! I KNOW I KNOW, NOW I HAVE TO GOT THROUGH THE VALVE LASH ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE AGAIN!
I was told to run the eninge till something gives and i dont want to do that, at all.
ANY HELP would be appreciated!

RE: Help LOUD TICKING !
Did it happen all the sudden, or has it done it ever since you put on the heads and stuff? Cause my RR's are noisy, my brothers chev 350 RR's are noisy and my gear guys' nova with chev 350 RR's are noisy also. So maybe it's those you are hearing.

RE: Help LOUD TICKING !
my 95 5.0 does the same thing after putting on new gt-40p heads. its slowly gotten louder. still don't know what it is. a local shop said its just rocker arm clatter. some are just loud. well it annoys the crap out of me. makes my motor sound ratty. let me know if you figure it out
