Yeah that's what I was thinking. I know even before I did it myself and took the car back when I heard it. they set it again and he said "this is tighter than I've ever normally set em" I've also noticed it likes to knock until it warms up too.

I got a bit of time the other day to pull valve covers quick. It seems to get lots of oil up top. Nothing had a bunch of play in the rockers or anything. Backed off everything and set it at a few different preload settings starting loose and getting tighter it just didn't seem to care...

Hey guys. Thanks a lot! Sorry for the lack of replies. Life got hectic. One thing I did get around to was swapping the oil before and there wasn't any metal to speak of. It had nicer pressure closer to 30 idle and over 60 with throttle. Didn't change anything in the way of noise. I believe...

Hello all! Thanks for letting me join your fine group! This is my first real mopar experience working together with my dad to get our 1970 Plymouth Cuda back on the road after years other than a Dart race car I had briefly that contributed a lot to this lol. It's an original 440 car. It...
