Post by **voltron_boi** » Tue Oct 23, 2012 9:17 pm

Took off my head last week, because I have a header leak. Took head off and machine shop Replace new stud and i bought new exhaust gasket. Just last night I start up the car and I have this rattling noise coming from the head. I don't no what is the cause of this. Timing mark is all line up, and start up no problem. Just this annoying sound that I can't figure out.

below is a video of it.

best way is to pull the cams out and bleed them manually by depressing the plunger with the lifter submersed in oil using a small screwdriver thru the small hole in the top of them...
they're 'supposed' to bleed with normal motor operation but if they're dry they will not pump up by themselves.
