Not sure how Olive Oyl (the 60 Bel Air flattop project car in my avatar) is gonna feel about my new girlfriend.
Here's a video of the engine running and you can clearly hear the horrible valve tick.
Not my video... car is still on the 2,815 mile trip from Cali to Ohio.

Good thing they didn't tell Junior Johnson about that before he won the 1960 Daytona 500 in a 59....

Gotta love that W exhaust tone...

You have the benefit of the dual exhaust. Feel the exhaust blowing to isolate which bank has weak or out of adjustment lifter then pull each plug wire to isolate cylinder. Im wondering if you have a cam going . Document everything with and video in case later you Need evidence.
