engine chattering
alright i havent taken my valve covers off yet to check this but i believe my rockers are chattering. but it could also be push rod chatter.. i dont think the valves are floating cuz the motor runs fine but there seems to be a loss of power. the chattering only really happenes when i give it a good amout of gas. and there is a ticking comming from the drivers side head and idle. if its my rockers i can just tighten them down right? if it is pushrod chatter how do i fix this? and is it hard to do? would i need new rockers or rods? if anyone has input it will be greatly appreciated.thank you

RE: engine chattering
remove the upper and lower intake, replace all the hydrualic lifters and reset valve lash.
My 302 did the same thing, and no matter how much I cleaned the lifters or tightened them down, they were LOUD on the driver side head.
you can add some 1.7 roller lifters while your there , like the Cobra has, or you can do all that when the time is right.
If you start on the project , ill give you the intake manifold bolt sequence for upper and lower, as well as a revised valve lash procedure that will have you set in 15 mins[8D]

+1 on replacing the lifters though, it sounds like a couple might be collapsed. It couldnt hurt to put the roller rockers on, but its not neccessary.
