well on fort st. at the downriver cruise i was having all kinds of fun and doing burnouts and shit when all of a sudden my cars power got kinda weird, it was running ruff and i could hear a ticking sound so i slowly took her home. you can hear a pretty decent ticking coming from under the valve cover i think it may be a lifter or a rocker has come loose, well fun tomarrow taking thecover off and finding out. any1 else know hat it might be? the only thing i did today before this happened was i washed down the engine, put new plug wires on and adjusted my idle speed on my carb. after doing the plug wires and washing the engine my car was hard 2 turn over and i had to keep pumping the gas but it finally started and was running great half the night but not now

sounds like a broken valve spring.. did you over rev it at all?

btw- moving this to the tech forum...

Better make sure that valvespring is intact while you're in there...rarely do rockers just fall off for no reason.
