RE: need advice on 428 valve train noise!

By Stanley Superior - 02/05/2001 1:12:45 AM; IP 209.95.221.101

With the valve cover off,put the rocker arm in the closed position (on the base of the cam),then wiggle the pushrod up and down. There should be no play in it at all. If there is,you may have a collapsed lifter,or a bent pushrod. Also make sure the rocker shaft is not bent. FE's are notorious for valvetrain problems,so check out everything ASAP.

This thread, so far...
