well i just got the motor in my 95 yesterday. i put the one i had laying around from my 87 gt, nothing special stock long block with e cam and intake(saving for heads)65 mm tb,and an adj regulator. my question is that when i started it up its got a ticking noise. its really loud around the upper intake. i was wondering how long it would take for the lifters to be pumped back up. i ran it for about 15 min. the motor sat for about ten months. i know its nothing from the lower end,it could also be the rockers need set but it didnt make that noise when i had it in my 87. i dont know,just wondering if anyone had this problem or had any sugg. thanks guys, sorry for the long post.
