yea, they are ticking. the head is rebuilt. i havent done the bottom end yet. i started with top end. took me a while to get the timing right but after i did, the idle is awful and the valves are ticking.

if the head was rebuilt, then the valves are gonna be way out of adjustment. It's been disassembled at the machine shop...
