Peeps ask a gazillion High Boy questions. Most are justified, some are just ridiculous. (sigh)

Some peeps are clueless or have been fed crap info by: sellers, ebay ads, or from other clueless peeps. Think 4WD: F100's, F150's, 1977 F250's from #Y20,001, 1978/79 F250's .. and even F350's are High Boys.

High-Boy = Enthusiasts term for 1967/76 F250 4WD's, 1977 F250 4WD's before serial number Y20,001.

Hi-Boy = Hot rodders term for 1928/34 Fords with the running boards and splash shields removed, exposing the body riding high atop the frame rails.

hi-boy = Antique furniture term for chest on chest (dresser) made circa 1750 thru circa 1805.

ok here are the videos first one with the valvecovers on second with the valve covers off sorry its crappy its on my phone.
video 1
ticking with valve covers on.3g2 - YouTube

video 2
ticking no valve covers - YouTube

 

Well, I'm not going to hire you as a camera operator.
I can't hear anything but engine noise and exhaust.
I'm very familiar with valve train tick and I didn't hear it. Doesn't mean it's not there, just can't hear it off of a phone recording.
While you had the covers off did you grab each push rod and give it a shake?
Edit
I went back and listened again. Didn't here valve train tick. Maaaaaaayyyyyyy have heard your knock but again, its a phone. Not much help I know.

 

Can't tell if all of the rockers are even moving. Need better video and audio, but it sounds kind of like a knock

 

Hot engine + low oil pressure equal usually

 

yeah i know the vids suck all the rockers move just fine but im gettin nothing for oil pressure i just started workin 6 nights a week and havent had anytime to mess with the truck but i think im gonna have to rip the top end off and see if i can find out whats goin on prolly replace the lifters while im in there
