Question Hey Guys!

Hey guys whats up!!

I finally got Big Red up and running she runs great! ill post a vid on my motor while shes running and in motion!

I have one question though i probably know the answer to it but.. does my truck have a certain way to adjust the rocker arms? my 300 year is a 86 model the rockers just torque down and that's it right? The reason I'm asking is because my truck when its warmed up it sound like the rockers are tap dancing under the cover.... its not omg loud but i could notice it or is that normal for it to do that when i did my lifter swap last year when it was stock it started doing that bout 3 months after the lifter were in and no i didn't reuse the lifters.

Only does it when its warmed up.

i tried taking off the valve cover in the morning but it was almost time for work so i didn't bother.

Well right now I'm still running the break in oil and it's straight 30. I'm not due for my first oil change just yet. The brand is that brad Penn stuff.
