Hi FABO!
I'm getting a single ticking in my valve train since my 318 rebuild.
I re-used the stock stamped rocker arms w/new push rods with the comp 268 Hyd. cam.
The Stock engine at some point probably was sittin' for a while..[valves stuck?]...some of the push rods were sorta "Z" shaped/bent.
Got to thinking about stressed rocker arms...
Also got to thinking about the old 273 2/bbl sitting under a tarp.
Can the adjustable rocker arms/shaft assembly be used (with) push rods [assuming integrity ok] on the 318??
No head milling, just resurface during rebuild
And how does the adjustment process go?
Also, when I "wind" it up through first gear [some] & back off throttle before shifting, it seems I hear a "fluttering/BB's_in_can/rattly" sorta sound. My exhaust integrity is not the best at this point so can't exclusively rule out some of the noise exhaust related
Thanks FABO!
