Today I pulled my intake off to send to McCoy and found some sort of bracket floating around in the lifter valley and no im not talking about the guard that resides directly over the cam. NO shit I found what appears to be an unused TB cable bracket off another type of car in there!!!!!!!!!!!!! makes me thing what tha @@@@!!! Well the number 6 pushrod has rubbed a 1/4 gouge into this POS and now I need to pull the entire motor and look for metal. I always wondered why I always had a little knock going on and now I know! Holly sh!t Im pissed. Why cant anything EVER BE SIMPLE. I need a beer so im outa here

Reminds me of the time my buddy found a gasket scraper in the lifter valley of his small block.

sytyjedi: If you saw my sy now you would laugh! :lol: Its all apart, looks heartbroken there in the garage. Oh well, hopefully the heads, cam, headers, new valvetrain puts some life into it. I cant believe Im doing this to a truck with 30k miles on it :-? You know your house looks like (identical) to a house up the street from my brothers in flowermound. I know the guy is a motorhead and have been looking for a ty in his driveway but, I noticed your in arlington.
