New problem......

Ok I just finished fixing my gigantic header leak, and put on a new bassani cat back system, the car drives great sounds great, has great power... This morning I jump in the car for work, driving fine, I start hearing a tapping? This is right next to my shop so I just coast it in, get out leaving the car idle it's deffinatly tapping, pop the hood and it's tapping on the drivers side valve cover pretty good, I turn the car off immediatly. Check the oil, it seems clean still, but it has a hue of metal flake, I know most of the time there is a small amount when you look at oil in the sun, and i'm not too concerned with this. I have about 5k miles since reinstalling the heads cam and rockers, And I have yet to readjust the rockers, So i'm hoping it's just a slipped rocker and the tapping i'm hearing is the pushrod??? Any other ideas, I'll be pulling the cover when I get home.
 
Comp cams hardened pushrods, didnt readjust my rockers yet, I checked all the cars here, oil looks like the stangs, thats why i'm not concerned. Yes AFR stud mount, I did change the stud retainer's to the AFR studs, I have heard they are crap. This may also be the problem.
 
Ok well it was just a rocker tapping on the valve cover...

My California Dude type friend :D

You're supposed to put SOME of that stuff together where .......

Things don't touch ;)

btw ... I got an opportunity to walk around your beach one evening :nice:

True ... It wasn't Texas :(

It didn't suck either :nono:

A really nice place IMHO :)
Lots of cool older cars cruisin up and down the beach
and
Some good lookin distractions with ....... softer bodies too ;)

Well see grady this is what happened, I let someone else set up my valve train, They didnt tighten the locking nut down on the rockers so it was only a matter of time before they started to come loose, I will never let anyone touch my car again... I have had to redo sooooo many things it's rediculous. Yes the soft bodies are very nice here, you should see my g/f's ;)
