[QUOTE="imswheel, post: 2206337, member: 4886"] Being an old school kind of guy I wonder if you could simply take the "ticking" heads to a competent machine shop and have the valve guides knurled or replaced? It has fixed many an engine over the last 90+ years. If the tick truly is caused by premature valve guide wear the tick would instantly vanish and you could do the cooling mod while it was apart. I agree with others that if it was a loose valve it would show up on a compresion test but the SVT engineer I have talked to says a compression test does not show anything on an engine with the "tick". Very strange to me. 03/04 engines are noisy (lifters, pcv, piston slap, thin exhaust mananifolds) and I think there is some level of "tick"-o- phobia out there. 50,000 miles and still running strong! - Paul [/QUOTE]
