My initial concern was the tick, but since the previous owner thought it had solid lifters/adj. rockers I wanted to check lash, anyway. Who knows how long had it been since lash was checked?
Yes, exhaust leak was my FIRST thought. However, since I thought there was adj. rockers I was hoping readjustment would fix the tick and save me from removing (maybe breaking) the old header bolts in order to replace the gasket. Those bolts have been in there a long time!
Now, I'm still wondering if the 710 T rocker on the #1 cylinder intake (right side rocker) is incorrect. (Cylinders #3, 5,7 all have the 78 RT rocker on the right side. And if I replace the entire set, what is the correct HD rockers to buy?
