Heres what the hitting sounds like!!!!!!!!!!

[Guero]

what is it just a compression test thing?

 

[Guero]

Just because the rockers "looked" normal doesnt mean the preload/lash is corr

not the rockers the spring holding on the valves.

I'm not sure if this is true or not but I heard the 94-95 had smaller VC's than the fox body 5.0's. Could the aftermarket rockets be hitting the vc's themselves?

 

[Guero]

maybe, but these are bigger vc. also

Its sounds like just one thing hitting, and if this were the problem Im pretty sure they wouold all be hitting.

 

[Guero]

actually it sounds form both side of the engine not just one particular side. kinda like in the middle?

I was just thinking arounds where the baffling is as I think that would be the area of the least amount of clearance?

Its probably not that but I was wondering if it was true that the 94-95's had smaller VCs?

Look on the inside of the VC for marks when u pull it...easy enuff

 

[Guero]

no marks, i checked them yesterday.

 

[Guero]

can it be the lifters, like 1995yellowcobra said, cuz i didn't prime them with oil.

 

[MysteryMachine]

dude your car is ****ed and will never run again

 

[Guero]

stfu! why you say that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MysteryMachine]

umm how many times have you broke it in like 2 weeks. This will be the 3rd time pulling the heads maybe.


This is why I'm thinking about getting a crate 347 for mine. Then everything is new and put together and I don't have to screw with it

 

[1994Vib.RedGT]

bent pushrod/valve, incorrect size pushrod are my two guesses, its def. valvetrain.

 

[Guero]

how bent do the pushrods have to be?

 

[Guero]

if it was a valve, wouldn't misfire?

 

[GRGT1994]

Can I suggest something that will probably be meaningless, but if it is your problem, it may save you a ton of time?

Is your drivebelt oversized or wearing out? That sounded a bit like mine when the tensioner was tapping against the stop because my belt was too long. Just look at the tensioner to tell. It should run between the two marks. The only difference I think I heard from your video was that when I heard that sound on my car it was not as precisely uniform as yours, and when I rev'ed up it went away as the motor torqued over and smoothed out from idle.

Again, probably meaningless, but I had to mention in case it saved you some time.

 

[Guero]

ok ill check. i might think bout getting new pushrods to. since 3 valves bent maybe the pushrods did to. what size rods you running since we have the sam mods and cam.

 

[Guero]

i dont think its the tens. since i would probaly hear it up front and not on the engine.

 

[GRGT1994]

i dont think its the tens. since i would probaly hear it up front and not on the engine.

Ya, and it probably wouldn't be so regular. How regular and proportional to engine speed it is makes it sound like it's something inside the engine.

I used whatever pushrods cam in the trickflow top end kit. You could call the SummitRacing or TFI tech lines. The are usually pretty quick to answer the phone and good with details like that.
