I finally got my Barn Find 74 2.0 started up after fixing major oil leaks. Also did a valve adjustment, reset the Dwell and timing. I’m hearing a motor tick during idle? I’m still in the learning phase, so do I have a valve out of adjustment? Is it safe to drive or do I need to address it immediately??

Look for exhaust leak at the heads, make sure the nuts are tight.

Look for exhaust leak at the heads, make sure the nuts are tight. But not too tight. It’s very easy to pull the studs. You should be able to tell which side the ticking is coming from. Double check your valve clearance. Does the noise change if you run the engine for several minutes? If you have hydraulic lifters it could take a while for them to fill with oil. If the noise starts to lessen after running the engine for a while you probably gave hydros. Only way to know for sure is to remove one of the lifters. |
