Wayne has a sterling reputation with Pontiacs. If I had to hazard a guess I would say one of my “noisy” Lunati lifters let go. I had a pretty good ticker. If I can I will use the cam and a better set of lifters. There was no terrible crunches or anything like that so I am just praying.

Regardless of what’s salvageable I will not be using those lifters. I always had a weird feeling about them when handling them. I felt like they should be more “robust” in a word but then I thought if it’s a Lunati cam why not lifters. Then I had the ticker and was frustrated but then I saw the post wanting noisy lunati lifters so I felt better. Since I will be replacing the lifters regardless what is the quietest and I hate saying best but what should I buy?

If the pushrods simply came out, your rocker arms were misadjusted (loose) and turned or rocked enough to allow the pushrods to slip out. That ticking you heard may have been loose rockers. If the pushrods are bent, then you had mechanical interference at play. Valves may have bounced and kissed the piston top or your rocker ratio and pushrod pocket offset may have caused your retainer to hit the guides. Things like valve spring coil bind need to be rechecked and ruled out but typically, you will also have a broken valve spring from coil bind.

If it does not need any machining I am rebuilding it myself because if what me and Wayne speculate is true the lifter jumped the bore. NO one has any Pontiac cam blanks but Isky said they repair cams no matter how bad. If that’s what happened that’s the route I will take. I know I’m gonna catch hell for this but I have built 8 SBC and put cam and lifters in a 389 before. If I don’t have to do anymore disassembly than I hope then I feel confident I can do it.

I overreved many times but that was with a HFT. Years in fact. MSD has a nifty ignition module with a build in rev limiter that will save you many future problems. Myself, I knew eventually there would be trouble back then but $100 bought a lot of beer. |

Its not his fault that there was a possible parts failure. I am not rebuilding anything per se. I will take it out, take the pan and lifter valley off, assess damage and do what is needed but if possible I am gonna avoid taking the heads off etc.

Why not just pull the intake and valley pan and KNOW if it has to come out first!Tom

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
