Haha 14 my high pressure! That's my low pressure! Try 17! And bring the tires for me

Jrr, I'll get back to u on that tomorrow night ok, checking my motor out first, but just hold out a day!!

lol.. if i brang the DRs for you, then ill be using the slicks and we would be doin it at the track and 17psi is still low boost (cough try 24psi+75shot)

My cars really funny lookin with the big DRs on the car.. they stick out like 3 inches. slicks ony stick out like an inch if that..

please watch

my car is almost as loud but not quite....should be checking it tomorrow...i figure its the lifters bc theyre from an engine that just sat forever with the oil gungded inside and i have no knowck or other cels bsides the iac and u hear it in the valve cover....please post ur thoughts

 

that sounds like hydralic lifters arent adjusted, normal for are cars if the motor has sat for a little while, but should go away after 10mins or so... how long has the car been driving? and what type of oil.. Id pull the valve cover off and make sure nothing is loose and hand tighten everything (But dont touch the headstuds, those should all be to trq spec)

all 4 (yes i said 4) of my motors have done that. some ALOT worse. some not near as bad.. but all went away after a little bit.. this built motor now also did it.. but sounded alot worse.

 

Well mine got worse so I'm thinking somethings loose since I didn't tighten them to spec lol, yes everything else was done to spec except when the cam was put in, they sat for a LONG time but it's not rele going away, I've driven for hours at a time

 

there are a few things that make noise like that..just pop the valve cover off and hand tighten everything.

this video reminded me of the other night : )

 

thats why u dont drove slow american muscle v6 cars

 

Cleaning the lash adjusters now bc they're completely frozen!!!

 

massive problem on my hands!!!!

miss fire was occuring so we checked all the plugs and came across this!!

one thing i dont need right now

plug doesnt appear to have been hit but the white inside is cracked and theres little tiny ***** or bubbles on the spark plug tip

cracked piston most likely

blowing air coming out the oil cap......test urs to see how much comes out

 

picture isnt that clear.. is that the white porsolen thats broken and has slid down? that would just be a plug failure. replace it and see how it goes, just make sure there seated properly. 1.50$ plugs arent a big deal to replace a few times if there is an issue going on more major.
