I have an old Ford truck with a 300 motor. It was running rough and my mechanic did a compression test and told me the head needed rebuilt. I took the head off myself, and he rebuilt it.

The PCV valve that sticks into the valve cover makes a constant tapping noise. What could be going on? My saturday project aimed at saving me a few bucks has turned into a big headache! Thanks for any advice.
