FE valve guide noise?
By Jeff - 11/27/2004 3:25:56 AM; IP 68.118.48.157
I'm chasing a noise in my 1972 F250. It has a 390 which I took apart 2 years ago. It was running strong when I purchased it, but it had a lower end knock and what I thought was a noisy lifter. I had the crank turned and put new bearings and rings in it. New lifters. I didn't do anything with the heads except install new seals. To my dismay, when I finished, the "noisy lifter" was still there. It has ran great for 2 years but the noise is getting progressively louder. It is most noticeable under deceleration or idle. Since I replaced all the lifters I am wondering if it might be a valve guide. Any other thoughts as to what it might be before I pull the heads and have them rebuilt?

Thanks

Jeff
