    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    Okay going to re do it now, I just removed the fuel pump before I did the valves and a small circular plastic piece that looked to be broke in half fell out any ideas what it might be

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    Okay, will go over it again tonight. And just for learning purposes if the pushrod wasn’t spinning that would mean the lifter is collapsed?

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    I rotated about 30 degrees at a time tightening each rocker until resistance and continued until they all had no play and then did 3/4 of a turn in on each. Probably did two full rotations to ensure they all had a bit of resistance when rolling the pushrod in my fingers.

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    I was adjusting by tightening until there was a a bit of drag when spinning the pushrod and then 3/4 of a turn in after that, if I remove a rocker and pushrod I should be able to see the top of the lifter right?

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    I bought an additive for the lifter noise with a detergent and also did about 400ml of atf, so basically a quart or trans oil. But no luck with that yet

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    I tried adjusting it while running but made the noise the entire time, I just hear it from that rocker but I can’t be sure it’s that, I took the rocker off and everything looked good too

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    It sounds to me like #7 and I’m pretty confident it’s coming from there after hearing it run with it off but will check the little things before ripping it apart

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    Okay, I didn’t build the motor myself so not too knowledgeable about valve train stuff so that makes sense, will do some more research so I understand more. Hopefully it’s the fuel pump

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    I thought that but wasn’t sure how to check, the fuel pump is new with the swap but doesn’t mean it’s not bad, should I just try replacing it?

    Sbc 350 lifter tick help

    I recently swapped a mildly built 355 into my truck and now has a lifter tick. I’ve put about 4000km on the motor and it was broken in before I bought it, and recently hearing a lifter tick, still getting oil through the rockers and they all appear to be opening the same amount. Was told it has...

    Weird problem sbc spits and sputters till dies then start back up and its fine again

    Sorry getting confused with other projects, meant 600cfm. I will definitely do a once over of my float height and mixture screws, should I be checking my accelerator pump too?

    Weird problem sbc spits and sputters till dies then start back up and its fine again

    It’s a Holley 650 street warrior, I checked my float level about a month ago and was still good but can check again tonight. Has a relatively new fuel filter. I should add that it has also done this when driving around town going under 60 and when i come to a stop just dies out and once again...

    Weird problem sbc spits and sputters till dies then start back up and its fine again

    Okay thank you, what do you think my next step should be to fix the problem. I have a fresh carb on it. I just find it weird it only does it every 5-10 times I drive it and then is perfectly fine again after starting back up

    Will a 8.5 Camaro 10 bolt axle fit in a 1981 squarebody?

    For some reason that idea never crossed my mind, it does look just like my rear end. These are photos of the Camaro rear end here

    Weird problem sbc spits and sputters till dies then start back up and its fine again

    I have a recently rebuilt sbc 350 wild a mild build, I daily drive it now that the project is done but recently about once a week I will be driving and after about 5 mins or less of driving it will spit and and sputter until it does, almost acts like the timing is insanely off but after I I come...

    Will a 8.5 Camaro 10 bolt axle fit in a 1981 squarebody?

    I would prefer relatively easy swap if possible which seems like this might be a decent bit of work to do, would your recommend not using this axle due to the differences or is it worth a shot considering it’s a good deal and can’t find any truck axles around me?
