Oh yeah man the E-Fans on the TCP shroud. were also a favorite of mine. Now I want to do manual hubs but over 2K for the Yukon kit installed. Thanks for the compliment.

 

Manual hubs really wouldn't give you much of anything. IMO.

 

Actually, you can score all the parts you need from a mid 90's ford 3/4 or 1 ton. Check your local wrecking yards. The fords also used the D 60 front end. You can probably pick up everything you need for a couple bills.

 

Very good to know.

But went to drive to dinner tonight and noticed ticking from the heads. More when cold less as it became warmer. It's only been about 30 miles or so since I put the non adjustable Harland and Sharp roller rockers in there. I'm hoping when I pop the valve covers tomorrow and re-torque those, the noise disappears.

 

What oil are you using?

 

It is Rotella T and I put in a quart of this lucas high zinc treatment for the break in period as per the harland sharp instruction.

I have seen occasions where synthetic oil doesn't keep the lifters pumped up, and you get valve noise...... Not sure it that is your problem or not......

 

I don't see any indication either the Lucas additive or the Rotella T contains any synthetic in it.

It's weird since there has been this impressive lack of valve train noises since installing them. it seems to only happen at idle when cold. If you just tap the throttle a bit it goes away.

Sure hope one of them just needs torquing down. The noise seems to be coming from the rear passenger side.

 

Since they are non-adjustable, real possibility that now that they are 'broken in', there is just a bit too much clearance, that gets taken up as the parts expand, as the engine warms. Annoying, but, not really a 'problem' per se..... Pull the covers with the engine cold, and see if any of them are sloppy, (after tightening.) Might just need to go with slightly longer pushrods.
