408 Valve train noise??

Thanks ! I’m a lot of things but a trouble maker isn’t one of them. Yes it’s a BP engine. I had one rocker that seemed to have bled down more than the others when I checked the torque on the hold down bolts.


I had a set of Lunati lifters in a Chevy once that bled off so badly when the engine sat for a day it drove me nuts listening to them clatter until they pumped back up. Their response was it’s Normal. I’m not sure about all that as all the engines I ever rebuilt from the 80s onward never had this issue...So is it stuff is just made so much cheaper today or is there a legitimate reason?

If this ticking isn’t going to hurt anything with this 408 then I’ll just have to deal with it as I’m really not interested in pulling it back out of the car. But same as with the oil pressure what’s it going to be like down the road with more miles and NO warranty?
