ok i got a power coated valve cover the other day so i swap the all one for this new one and when i try to start the engine my truck started making this tickin anoying noise
[]
any ideas what could this be?? a rocker/hla, lifter? any help would be great
cant see utube from work but how long was the old valve cover off?
Did you torche the bolts to spec? If you over tighten them the rocker arms will tap the valve cover. Maybe need a new gasket also if it is too compressed.
lol i was gonna say aaaaah the good ol mazda tick before i herd the sound clip but that sounds worse lol
i didn't torque the bolt to spec, i probably over torque, cause i was ruuning fine with the old valve cover and i didn't toutch the rocker arm or anything i just swap valve cover and it started to sound like that i'll try and loose the bolts a bit tomorrow and see what happend, and if i beed a new valve cover gasket where can i get one? i kinda thought about the rocker arm hitting the valve cover
take off the valve cover and see what its hitting
