Question
i have a 383 crate motor and all of a sudden the back driver side started tapping real loud ,tried adjusting but did not help.whats next? thx
Randy what do you mean you adj. it and it will still tap. I wonder if the tappet stud is pulling up and out, if hyd. lifters you adj. by loosen one at a time till it clacks than go back in till it stops than go in 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn more-go slow as it can cause the engine to stall. try that. I hope that the stud. is not pulling loose on you.
