this was posted by Gadier/383hemi over at dodgetalk.com good information man.
Like many in the Modern Hemi Community, I've had the "Hemi Tick" since the day I bought the truck back in May 2004. Seems like every time I modded the motor it got just a little more noticeable. Headers, metal intake tube, valvetrain upgrades, ext....... Figured it was just what the Hemi did, tick, tick and tick. After an indepth discussion with Stu about his custom pushrod options we decided to swap out the exhaust side pushrods. We went from the Manley 7.850" pushrod to a custom 7.875" pushrod. Immediately the valvetrain ticking went away. I can't remember my motor ever being so quite.....ever. Here is a good thread about pushrod selection: http://www.dodgetalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217317  My Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=581437357 HTC Titan Killer Some Fun Stuff 6.1 best time Reaction time: .039 60 foot: 2.394 1/8: 9.955 @ 72.482 1/4: 15.284@ 92.649 260 Best time RT 0.136 60' 2.290 330' 6.440 1/8 9.849 @ 72.73 1/4 15.193 @ 91.853            |
