390 valvetrain tic
so i was out muddin and my truck poped outta gear, the engine wrapped up, dont know how high but it was momentary. After the incedent the the engine has a tic. I know it could be one of three things:
A. a bent pushrod
B. a bent valve
C. A lifter.
The truck runs on 8 cyl and has plenty of oil.
I drove it 10 miles home with no change. I am at school and was wondering what the likleyhood of it being each of these? Ive had to change several bent pushrods on FE's. Is this a common problem? I am at college and have a limited number of tools and no garage to work in.
I hope it is a pushrod. any incite would be great.
thanks highrider
