Ok, I recently pulled the motor to reeplace the the HG's. Motor is back in the car and seems to be running stronng on 20lbs of boost and 110. No knock 24* timing.
My problem is Im hearing a ticking sound coming from the valve train under teh driver side Valve Cover. I set the lash at Zero and tightened the set screws another half a turn. I reset the lash again to zero and tightened the set screws 3/4 of a turn this time. The ticking sound is still there and im not sure what is causing it. I didnt notice this sound when I first got the motor. Any ideas on what could be causing the noise. I was told because it is a roller motor that the VT will bit a lil noisey, but I never noticed this sound until now. I let some one else take a look at it and they seem to think its still something wrong with the V/T because of the noise/loud ticking sound. Car runs good it just makes that ticking sound. What could it be? The passenger side doesnt make this noise at all. I looked at the springs and they look good. valve train seems to move properly when i turn the car over. What givees?
Heads are AL GN1s
