I replaced both my cams and both rocker arm assemblys last year when i 
rebuilt the top of the motor cause both were worn.. I still have rocker arm 
tapping going on even though i have readjusted the rockers about three time 
in the past year.. seems like the more i adjust them the noiser they get.. I know 
these engines always had loud rocker assemblies but i check on it once in a

tapping noise.. And i have oil pumping through all the holes so I dont think 
anything is wrong. basically just noisy engines..Dave..vin 15275
