Ticking noise, 383, can't locate the source
Have been reading through this post and zeroing in on push rod length with the aluminum heads, thinking that the aluminum pedestals sit up a little higher than the stock cast iron pedestals so possibly need longer than stock push rods.
Have not heard if you used stock length push rods with the new aluminum heads and stock mopar rocker assemblies.
Here is a picture of the longer than stock push rods for an aluminum headed chev 350.
Stock push rod on left,
Longer 2 push rods on right to work with the aluminum heads. They were using the adjustable roller rockers with the longer push rods on the alum heads. This might be where the added length was needed to make up for the added height of the roller rocker ??? Lots of variables here.
Got to be careful not to touch the valves to the pistons with too much lift when making valve train alterations.
Another Possibility to check out.
