I would pull the offending
valve cover, then watch the rocker arms go up and down while cranking the engine
(Coil unplugged) Look for one that doesn't keep pace with it's friends. You may
have a bent pushrod, flat lifter or a hole in the rocker. Good
luck!

Subject: IML: 65 Crown....
Hi all!
I bought a 65 Crown a few months back and I am in the process of restoring
it.... The car runs great, upholstery, headliner, carpet, and body work
all in progress now. I had a mechanic
give it a total tune up, points, new alternator, carburator, brakes, fuel
lines, plugs, etc. The other
day I went to start it and the engine started and then reved all the way up,
now I have a repeating "click click click click" sound coming from the
passenger side valve cover... anyone have any idea what to look for??? I
hope it's something minor, not something that requires an engine pull!
The car still runs great, just has that clicking noise... I cut the engine
immediatly and haven't started it again, going to wait to hear what the group
says! Thank-you for your
time: Eric
