    I tried using the search but didn't get far, figured Id just ask here. I've got a few questions and was hoping someone can shed some light.

    -I recently purchased a CompG and theres a loud ticking coming from the back three cyl/heads area.. Im thinking Maybe a lifter isnt priming? The noise kinda fades with acceleration... the engine runs great but there's no power above 3k rpm. and the noise has is audibly louder if I try and push it. Its def not rod Knock and its not the supercharger as I removed the supercharger belt to make sure the noise wasnt from it.


    -If I just choose to buy a replacement engine from say a junkyard correct me if I'm wrong buying a non supercharged 3800 would raise compression with my current intake and supercharged mounted correct? Can series 2 be substituted for series 3? (lower end with my current components)

    -I bought a set of Cometic Head Gaskets for a Series 2 Motor I built a couple summers back, if I tear this motor down and it needs head gaskets are the Series 2 and 3 Head Gaskets any different? Thanks Again!!
