Beat the Javelin, but %$#@% engine ticking now

Mopar to ya said
I wish. It is coming from the valve cover area, I can hear it. I think I'll get the mechanic's stethoscope out tonight and see if I can narrow down the bank and the area.

maybe floated the valves and bent a pushrod. that would throw your lash off and give you a tick just like your talking about.
