Having some SERIOUS issues after intake swap...HELP!!

alright.....heres the latest

I put the intake back on. It is still making the same sound. I have how ever noticed it is coming from the back cylinders.

I remembered that when I pulled the fuel rails in the beginning I broke a couple of the injectors ( the plastic flange on the bottom part just below the o-ring) A neighbor friend of mine gave me some 19# injectors from an 88 mustang gt.
I am wondering if these injectors are firing properly?!?! would they make this sound if they were not firing at all?? The car seems to have a rough idle, but heck its always had that.

I checked the rear cylinders for any debris and I could not find anything. The spark plugs looked good as well.

well good news.....knock is gone....whew

after a huge sledge hammer....and running it with no oil I cured the problem lol j/k

It took a quart of trans fluid and running for a few minutes before the sound went away. I guess the lifters needed a little persuasion.

Anyways....thanks for the help, tomorrow I am going to change the oil put some good stuff in, hopefully no more probs after this.


Thanks guys
