Happy Holidays list!
A lot of you shared my TR6's clunk problems, so I'm hoping someone will
have experience in my next project. I seem to have this annoying
ticking sound coming from (I think) the top end of my engine. It's not
a valve thing as I've re-adjusted them 47 times. It might be coming
from the cam/tappet area. I pulled the pushrods to take a look and the
4th one back was mushrooming a little, and was starting to pit. Of
course, I can't look at the lifters & cam without removing the head. : (
I'm unsure of the mileage of the engine, but I do know it has great oil
pressure and lots of power. Oh, yeah, I tried pulling spark plug leads
to isolate the offending piston/cylinder thinking it might be a wrist
pin or something. Still ticks regardless. It won't do it until it
warms up, I can hear it driving around town, and on the highway it makes
me want to shoot myself in the head.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
