I pulled my 400 eng about 8 months ago. cleaned it up installed new gaskets on everything. everything was removed and put back on including the heads. the only thing new i put on the valve train was new pushrods, everything else is stock. on my rockers i have one nut that is torqued to 20 ft lbs that holds the rockers on that is it.when everything was put back together she started up fine, but for some reason i'm getting a ticking sound coming from around the intake and valve area. it seems to get louder as it warms up. i don't know if it is supposed to sound like this or not it just seems like it should be more quiet. my question is would installing new pushrods need me to any type of adjusting to the valves etc? some people tell me they can't be adjusted, some say to tighten them down while the covers are off etc. i just don't want to drive knowing there might be something wrong.
