Tick be Gone

Coppertop · 07-05-2013, 01:02 PM

My engine developed a pretty good tick at the last outing....This is what I found.

Number four cylinder exhaust rocker arm.Checked the rest while the cover was off,found no broken ones.

Engine is tick free..

I thought the only way to kill a tick was light it on fire

good find so all ready for its next beat down

Thankfully,no fire needed on this Tick...

That's a serious tick...

What did the inside of the rocker look like and was the push rod ok ??

Looked liked some of it had been missing for awhile.The broken pieces you see in the pic I believe broke recently causing the tick.The very bottom part was not found.Push tube was okay.

So you ready for bigrock now? I think tom and robert are in

Yep,looks like a local run will fit my work schedule.I'm in the process of replacing the stock ignition system just waiting on the last part (Accel cap&rotor)to show up.

BigRock will be a good test.
