Re: Noisy Valves
Since your lifters are original type my question is, just how noisy are they ? And are the ones with the most clearance exhaust ?
Looser valves are less likely to burn. Ford increased the exhaust lash to .022" on the 'B' cam.
What does a compression or leakage test show ?
Personally I'd just as soon be able to hear them than not.
You might also want to check the lift on each lobe to see how the camshaft is.
Its a considerable amount of work to make changes which ever way you decide to go.
