Can someone please help me out! My 350 is ticking it's coming from the passenger side.. I thought it was maybe a stuck lifter, replaced all the lifters and pushrods. It was gone at first then later came back. Readjusted valves countless times. I've tried changing plug wires, header gaskets, even went as far as changing the flywheel. However I found that the tick is coming from the number 4 cylinder exhaust valve. You can tighten down on it really tight til it's about to cut the motor off but it slowly comes back. Motor has good oil pressure. Give me your opinions on it thanks!
I pulled the trans out and put the weight on the flywheel. That's fixed now doesn't shake at all. But there's still a tick not as loud as before I replaced rocker nuts and readjusted the rockers again but it's still there not sure what it is..
Bought a 1987 Monte Carlo years ago for one of my daughters. It had a light tick that I swore was a valve out of adjustment. Chased it for a while, got out the stethascope, and found a worn arm/pin on the fuel pump. replaced the pump and the tick was gone. Still have the car and still no tick. Easy check, cheap fix.Hope this helps.

I realise this is an old thread,but since it has been brought back up,I will comment. I went through the same thing on a 350 in my 69 pickup. I even went as far as replacing the timing chain,but still had the noise.I pulled the fuel pump and found the pivot pin hole was badly worn.I also changed the fuel pump and she was quiet after that.
