rocker issue
hey all,
just put roller rockers 2 weeks ago, and i'm having an intermitant problem. when the engine is cold and has been sitting, upon startup one of the rockers clicks for about 5-10 seconds, then the sound goes away. to install them i used the engine running; tighten rocker until it stops clicking, then give it another 1/4 turn method. do i need to re do it and use a full half turn instead? or am i looking at a possible lifter going bad? the block has less than 25k on it, so i don't think its a bad lifter... but i'm not an expert so i hope you guys can help.
thanks,
Thunder
