Howdy guys,
So recently after i tightened the head bolts, rocker arm shaft, and adjusted the rockers ive noticed higher oil pressure and that I'll get loud clatter up top after starting the car after it has sat for a little bit. At idle im running about 40psi, and idle is around 550-600rpm. That seems very high for oil pressure. Before i did this, it was 25psi and the clatter went away quicker. Sometimes i have no clatter issue now, sometimes i do. I notice it more when i go to drive at night.
Im guessing there was an oil passage in one of the bolts or one of the bolts are restricting oil. I tightened everything to spec as of the 1965 Ford Shop Manual, and detailed exactly what i did in the thread called "Perfection".
Help me out here guys.
Thanks,
Ryan
