And in current news.. Danny the Smutter drove it to work today.
Everything seems find under the vc. I'm wondering if i got ls7 lifters instead of stock and need longer push rods
So I'm thinking i need longer push rods? Would it hurt it to drive if like this if it is a pr problem?
did you take the valve cover off and see if you have play up and down on the pushrods? also are they new lifters?
I'm not sure..
What did BillBoost tell you this morning? :confused:
I already torque the rocker bolts though
Lifty lifters
IIRC Max had to get shorter pushrods...
you dont have to loosen up the rockers just see if they spin with your fingers without any play up and down. if it is pushrods you wouldnt want shorter ones it would chatter more. but if only one pr has play up and down id look into failed lifter maybe?
Music to my ears
Turned 140k today

so whats the verdict? the engine ok? or still clapping on you?
Still ticking a little I'll look into it over the weekend when i get time. It's either lifter or push rods
Cleaned the interior today, changed a blown rear speaker, and swapped the shifter surround.
No more dead bugs

It was still driving just like that lol. Heads look perfect though that's weird.
Odd that 1&5 went before 3... Interesting.
did you ever get the random misfire code while driving with chipped pistons?
