Big Block ticking? Flat tappet cam. Normal?
Well, something to think about here. The center valve rail hold down was stripped out.
The motor is about 125 degrees now and I can touch the heads without a problem, warm but not hot. Yet the valve lash was at .018 on all intakes and .020-.021 on all exhaust. They should be .016 And .018 hot. So they are really loose. Any danger running like that for a cruise tonight. I replaced the stripped bolt on the hold down
