Valvetrain Ticking Please Help!
By Ryan Hodges - 03/03/2004 7:44:26 PM; IP 69.1.47.6
I have a '65 FE that ticks. I thought it was an exhaust leak. I replaced every exhaust gasket on the truck and it did not stop. I took the valve covers off and the tick is definately coming from the right side valvetrain. I do not see anything out of place, and did not find any play between the rocker arms and the pushrods or valve stems. I am totally clueless as to what the problem is. Hope someone who knows more about this than I do can help.

Thanks
