Thanks Geoff 2. Will do this tomorrow.1st.
Try this on the noisy cyls [ 1, 3, 5 correct? ]. Do on the int & exh lifter. An assistant would be helpful.
Pick a cyl & rotate engine by hand until the valve is closed. Loosen the r/shaft bolts 2 turns & watch to see if the p'rod cup moves up in the lifter. It should. Snug shaft bolts & repeat test until all 6 lifters have been checked.
If the cups do not move, you need longer prods.
If they do move, you could have faulty lifters.
What I have had happen a few times: no matter how long I ran the engine, I had a few clackers. I had to drive the car & give it a WOT burst up to 5000 rpm & that would fix it. Good luck!
Drove this jalopy around the block today.
I've got to say, if I ever get this thing tuned
and running optimal, it's easy to see why
a select few are hooked on Mopar giddy--up.
Even running poorly, one can feel the
potential. This motor is torque personified.
And it's just a mild build.
