It's been about three weeks since I installed the MP Roller Rockers (and Push Rods) on my 318 - and I'm starting to hear ticking when I'm at idle. Sometimes it sounds like just one (cold), sometimes it sounds like a sewing machine (hot, after running at highway speeds for 20 - 30 min).
I don't have time to go through resetting them until the weekend after next. Am I damaging anything by waiting till then?

IT could be the fuel vent valve kicking in Just in front of the fire wall in the engine compartment on drivers side. I have the same sound with my 98" Dakota 5.2 I took it to the dealer up here in Canada they said that was normal.

Actually, it was sounding so bad that I left work early and took it to the dealer. As the guy lifted off the driver's side valve cover something hit the ground - the #1 cylinder intake rocker. The stud snapped off. So now it's sitting there waiting for MP to find a stud and I'm tooling around in a Cavalier dealer's loaner.
