| Tick Tick Tick |
| By Steve - 11/10/2003 7:33:38 PM; IP 216.21.159.95 |
I have recently purchased a 1967 Mustang coupe, 289 auto trans.
The car is essentially stock, except for the parts I have replaced to get it running. (Rebuilt carb, new points, plugs, leads, fuel pump, dist cap).
After a lengthy battle to get it through our government AirCare emisions test, the car is finally insured.
My problem is that one of the lifters has started to tick. I have tried an engine cleaner and it still persists, if not worse.
I am not too sure if I should be driving it in this condition. The other day while on a test drive it started to miss a little, and cough a little upon acceleration.
Is it time to pull the rocker covers and take a look? What should I be looking for?
My other problem is how do I get the rocker cover off. It seems it is now one with the engine. Removing the cover bolts, did not loosen the cover. Is there a trick,because I don't want to damage anything?
Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks in advance for your help.
