[QUOTE="ozziedog, post: 628634, member: 13810"] CAREFULLY, Try using a piece of plastic / rubber pipe a few feet long and hold it to your ear like a stethoscope to get an idea of where the noise is coming from. Helps if you have someone there to keep an eye on where you’re putting your fingers. Just for a minute, it wouldn’t hurt to have the fan belt off but not too long. Nice to run without the belt for a little anyhow just to eliminate the fan and the alternator and the belt itself from the equation. Ticking does sound like it might just be the tappets, try resetting your valve / tappet clearances while it’s cold. Different pushrods may need different settings and as this is a modified motor, you’d need to know which rods for which tappety gappitty <<< new made up word :mrgreen: Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,ally or steel? :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
