I have set the stud mount rockers several times and they still make noise. Is it more common to hear that annoying tick with adjustables?

Is there a conversion from stud mount to pedastal mount?

check your oil pressure with a mechanical guage - rockers are the last things to get oil - if pressure is low they will make noise - check it NOW!!!!! or risk bearing failure in the near future

No problems with the oil pressure. Other than the noise and some PCV and crankcase pressure problems the motor ran great. The motor is partially disassembled now and there is not visible wear in the valve train. I guess it is just a noisy set up.

Anyone have any other thoughts???
