hey guys I'm having some issue with a new engine build its a 5.0l with performance world aluminum heads adjustable.guideplated and a xe270 cam
I've got what sounds like a lifter tick I've run it with the valve covers off to eliminate that... I removed the intake to check the lifters because it echoes through the intake with a stethascope I found the lifters all scraped ... I'm wondering if this is my noise... I've also been told guide plates cause noise... there are marks on the hardened pushrod where they are rubbing any help would be appriciate
