    Extremely loud ticking after head rebuild

    Okay so i just got done with a full head rebuild, new Schrick 272 cam, hd rockers, new valve springs, cleaned up/ polished valves. Got the car running yesterday and now im getting a SUPER loud ticking coming from either the valvetrain or the the new injectors. Its way louder than the usual "e30 tick" and its exaggerated when i give it gas. Please help.

              time for a valve adjustment...
              go on youtube and you'll find tons of diy.
              good luck...

                hope you don't have piston/valve contact.

                  Were both dowels in place when the head was re-installed? And have you double checked cam timing?
                  The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

                    No but there is oil seeping out of the back left corner of the bottom of the head

                      I already went on youtube to see how to do it. My buddy did the valve adjustment i just asked. So what else could this be if the valves half already been taken care of?

                          So who installed the rocker shafts?

                          Why is there no oil coming out of the oil tube?

                          Why is oil seeping out of the headgasket if the head was just installed?
