Default wooooohooo

My car dynoed at 254 and 310 torques or something like that. I threw out my dyno sheet cause I was mad so dont ask to see it.
I think I found my problem though. I have had a light tick on my head for a while and I never thought much of it becuase I called trickflow and they said it was normal for the older generation heads But today I took a stethascope and listend to all mycylinders from the top of the valve covers and from the ones I could reach I put the stethascope up against the head too. They all sounded perfectand their was no tick except the when I put the scope above the #1 cylinder and when I put the scope on the head right above the spark plug it did not sound good at all. I dont know that much about heads but I am guessing it is a bad exhaust or intake valve since I just replaced all my lifters. I am happy nowGood Rant over

I wouldn't be so sure about that fella!!!!......If you had a bad exhaust valve and or intake valve...this would result in a loss of compression and if it were hanging up in the guide not allowing it to seat properly it may tick if the valve train were set up with a valve not fully seated and when it frees up the rocker would be out of adjustment.........I'd lean more towards a rocker out of adjustment and or a broken valve spring........ valves out of adjustment meaning set to loose will open late , close early and reduce flow and overlap......and cause a noisy valvetrain........so if you have a smooth idle then I'd rule out a burnt or bent valve because that would cause loss of compression and a cylinder would not fire properly
