Oil pressure is good at around 65psi. Oil is 15w40 Amsoil hi zinc. Does not smell like gas. I beleave it may be a Comp Cam I will have to look for the bill and cam sheet. As for springs or spacers I will have to pull the valve cover as I had the motor built and do not remember ever having one off to check.

What will the baby powder do? I did change the exhaust gaskets a year and a half ago but this is different as it goes away but comes back after a highway run. Last time the ticking got worse and worse till I change the gasket. We changed the exhaust gaskets to the Remflex brand that came highly recommended and they appear to be holding well as I see no signs of burning. They are stock manifolds.

I have a 428cj in my 69 Mustang that had a full rebuild about 5-6 years ago. Engine has run flawless
till this year. I have done 2-3000k per year. I drove to the Woodward dream cruise in Detroit. About
a 5 hour drive at a fairly steady 3000rpm each way. Little higher on the way home as a group we were having a little fun. The engine has developed what sounds like a lifter tick. If the car is parked for say a week or two, when started it ticks heavily for a few minutes. Driving around town it appears to go away but get on the highway and it comes back slightly. Coast off at the off ramp and it goes away again. I do have adjustable rocker but have not had the time to pull a cover as of yet to see if one has come loss. Is it possible I have a sticking lifter?

Thanks, Steve
