Ok guys I recently Installed A cam on my 6.0 LQ4 a torquer v.2 , I turned the truck on and everything was ok but my oil pressure was a lil low and I started to hear a clicking sound So I tought It was my lifters, I decided to put a ported oil pump and now the oil pressure was ok but I cold still hear the clicking sound, dam I was pissed so I come to find out the timing on the timing chain was off and when I took my valve covers off 4 rockers from one side were messed up and only 1 from the other, Next thing I did was to put some new rockers and set the timing right did that and when I turned the truck on I could still hear the clicking sound but only on one side only, I drove it like that anyways to my house, next day took the valve cover off on the side of the sound and 1 rocker was messed up .... So I put another rocker torqued em at 22 or 24 pounds not sure and put everything together and everything seemed ok we took it for a spin and everything was ok!!!! then just right now I left the house and im starting to hear the cliking sound again!!!!! what can it be???? if someone knows please help

 

What length pushrods did you use? And are you using lock tight on the rocker bolts?

 

Im using the 7.400 pushrods, and im not using lock tight

 

hmm, push rods should be the right length, however it'd be a good idea to find someone with a length checker to make sure 7.4 is the right size. Also, on the rockers that are getting messed up, is the bolt coming loose?

 

No the bolt stays tight, but the little bearings the rocker has come out with the two little caps from the side!!!! Could I have messed up a valve or a piston?

 

Hmm hopefully not. As long as the valvesprings are not broken, I doubt any piston to valve contact has happend. but i could be wrong

 

Hope not, any one else????

 

From what I heard the timing was way off. If your heads are unmilled and the rockers and heads are good there should'nt be any problems. What I'm afraid off is that the valves may have hit and it damaged the guides, valves, or both. This is one of those things that rarely goes wrong if it's done right.

 

So I would need new Heads??
