HI, I have a ford 1715 with a j843 engine I just rebuilt it.
1. engine was bored over.040 block was decked.
2. valve job, head was resurfaced
3.new pistons, rods bushings replaced and fitted.
4. rod and main bearings replaced.
after starting engine after careful break in 60 psi oil pressure,190 temp, I noticed a ticking noise worse warm advances with speed towards upper end. the engine starts and runs good
I can't seem to pin it down. I used a standard head gasket I think i'm to tight on my clearance could this cause a extra noise ?
THANKS.
