ok i know i keep having problems :banghead: but heres my new problem i have a ticking noise in my engine at first i thought okay its my lifters i checked it they seem to be fine next i need to check to see if my pushrods are the right length cause i know that could cause a ticking noise like a type writter . next i figured okay well worst come to worst it would be my cam and lifters have ground down only problem is i have no idea what a ground down cam lobe or lifter would look like. i pulled my top end and pulled out a couple lifters not all of them and i only did one side of the head and the lifters look fine to me they look flat like the should... then again like i said i only checked a few and only one side.. should i check all of them or i dont know any ideas ???? plzzz i am stuck :screwy: i may not be 21 wont once i am all buy everyone a free round at the bar or something if i could get as much help as possible :thumbup:

What engine are you running, mechanical or electric fuel pump?

[/quoteX2 and make sure you put the lifters back in the same hole you took it out of :sly:

i will check my exhaust gaskets :thumbup: and i made sure i did put the lifters back in the same hole i was careful i only took one out at a time :thumbup: could the mechanical fuel pump create a ticking sound if its all messed up :o

I've never heard of one doing that, and if your cam was going flat, it it would be running like crap. Sounds like exhaust leaks :beer:

Probably dead on with that! :thumbup:
Reminds me of when Pickle didn't run so good at Blythe last year. Had Mike ('Tard) in the boat and he said "you got a serious Vacuum leak" .........I couldn't hear it, can't beleive his old deaf ass could either. Figured he was just messing with me as usual......Between him and Terry, dunno HOW I keep my sanity, anyways........
Yeah, that's what it was! Ticking noise from a vacuum leak!
Mike, I apologize..........this ONE TIME, you were dead balls on...........
