Subject:      Clacking in engine!
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Well we hava installed the engine and done everything we could think of to make it as good as we could short of ripping appart the block and doing a complete rebuild. We stated the engine for the first time in 5 months(working on the car only on the weekends)and have done a head job plus other things. But we have a problem. Engine roared to life in about 5 cranks but it had the loudest clacking sound it has ever made. I we waited about a minute to let the lifters pump up with oil but the sound never went away. We adjusted the valves according to the procedure in the green block and using the head procedure available here on the article files. I wonder if anyone has gone through this same thing. We used remanufactured heads and kept all pushrods in their lifetime living quarters. I dont know if im asking too much of an open ended question but i appreciate all the free info gotten here through this whole thing, its been my support. Anyway thanx, Raul
