Ok so after the Harland
sharp install, RR's,
my truck is now running nice and I've put about
70 miles on it so far, it runs pretty
faster now and sounds meaner lol
but one weird thing,
I can hit 0-3000 Rpms with the truck
roaring nice like a v8 but....
When I start to hit 4,000 rpms the truck runs
good up until it starts making ticking/clacking
noises in the engine...I stop pressing the accelerator
cause I don't wanna mess up my engine...
And it stops...so....
Baffles maybe? Or is this normal????
Or do the rockers need to break in more?

Aight I'll check em, I mean I triple checked them and they
were fine, but I'll tighten em a lil more by half a turn.
And locking nuts??? Nope. Where would I
use the locking nuts?

Do not tighten them, just check they are trq to the
right specs. Too tight or too loose is not good.

Dude the harlands come with bolts, not locknuts.
And they seem to make the noise a little less now...
Just a tiny bit you can hear it now, it was worst before
and I haven't checked em yet...
before the install I had checked em three times.
And I know I torqued them
to 21ft/lb. But yeah I think I just gotta wear em in a little,
cause they are making the sound less now.
I can hit 4,000 with it sometimes clicking super fast,
and sometimes I can only hear my magnaflow
exhaust...I should be fine I think...my valve covers
were a little loose and I was drippin little bit
of oil too, so I retightened my valve covers,
and one of the bolts broke!!! In the hole!!!!
Man!!!! Oh well...i will check in the
morning to see if I got leaks still...
I will gas it to the max and see if I can
still hear the clicking too.

What you mean by noisier?
They make like a fast repeating snapping sound
or metal banging against metal at high rpm's
only, and one of my bolts broke from
my valve cover and the other half
is now stuck in the trucks head!!!
How am I gonna get it out!!!???It's leakin a lil
bit of oil, dam bolt, I barely even tightened it
Truck runs ok, a little rough but it had alot
sludge, I ran seafoam through it
and
changed the oil.
But I am still gettin that sound at high rpm's.
Any ideas Larry? I put everything right...

Well it's got 93,300 miles on it. And thanks for helpin
stranger. I appreciate it.
Well I retorqued them and when I was in there,
there was alot of burnt oil everywhere and
sludge build up, I cleaned up what I could,
lots of burnt oil on my push rods. And
I cleaned em pretty good. I dipped everything in
oil before puttin em on. And it runs alot
better now. :) better idle. And it still makes that
noise only when I gas it all the way!!!
Sounds like poppin noises, I'm thinking
I gotta wear em in. The noise is at 4-5 thousand
rpms now and it barely does it though.
I'm not gonna worry about it. It sounds good.
And sounds more mean lol.
HUGE BAD NEWS!!!
well my heater core went out and I replaced it,
about 4 months ago
everything worked fine and now my
middle vents aren't throwing air out!!!
I'm in Vegas and it's effin hot here!!!
Sucks!!! I gotta take it all apart.
AGAIN!!!
Well my lower and upper vents work fine,
I'm just not getting any air through the middle
which is weird...what do you guys think?

Ok so I'm announcing that I fixed my vents,
all of them work but now I just need an ac
recharge....oh man wat a job!!! Took
me six hours!!!
I re did the RR's and they sound better.
No more snapping sound. I can hear
it at 4-5 thousand rpms but it's a really mild sound.
Other than all this.....
Truck runs awesome
and roller rockers made a huuuuge difference.
:) I'm really impressed and my ac needs a recharge,
I'm about to
have a nice new dodge Dakota. :) until the
next fixing....
HEADERS COMING SOON ALONG WITH
A SCT TUNER!!!! I'll keep ya posted.
If I were you, totally go with rockers!!!!
