Greetings all-

This is a follow up to my previous posting of a ticking that is becoming quite loud:

http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=784976

Today I checked the clearance on the shims (B21F), and they were all in spec (.333-.381). The only thing that needed adjusting was that the bearing caps were really tight, so I torqued them to spec. So now I am still getting the noise which can be felt on the valve cover. The insides of the cam bearing caps looked fine, as well as the lobes on the shaft itself. Any ideas what to look for next? Rhys, do you have thoughts on this?

Thanks all-

Joe HC
