TICK TICK TICK... Chasing Engine Noise in the Foxbody

Soon after finishing up the cam swap on my foxbody mustang the engine developed a ticking noise. In this video I show the steps I took to trace it and fix it.

What ended up fixing the ticking noise? Dead lifter? Rocker arm hitting valve cover?

Cheap rockers. One of the pedestals was slightly taller than the others causing incorrect valve lash, it was essentially loose on the valve. I machined down the base of that pedestal and it quieted down.

I have the exact same ticking going on with my engine right now. I’ve checked the rocker arms and they’re all good though.
