    INTERMITTENT Valve ticking!

    So I had the valves adjusted perfectly. PERFECTLY. Idle was great, power improved, and best of all, no embarrassing ticking!

    Now it ticks. But only every once in awhile. Why would it only tick every so often? Temperature is not a factor, it will drive me nuts when it's warm or cold. It ticks one or two revs then goes silent for 8 revs. Then ticks again for another two or three.

    Am I just gonna have to suck it up and replace the rockers/cam/valves?

    could just be your timing change, they tend to be noisey too...
