did you make sure to check your pushrod length was good and are you sure you followed the proper procedures for setting the rockers?

wait, is this in your 96 or your 88? Little more information would be nice

Click to expand...

I had 1.6's and they were never loud. Loud = loose. check your specs and make sure you torqued properly. I am assuming you replaced the rods as well...if not, you need to.
