Re: Doing A Valve Job
A lifter tick can be three things two of which are common. 1: low oil 2: high mileage and worn or stick internals. Or misadjusted which creates to much lash
What you need to figure out is why the pushrods bent in the first place. Also tell us which pushrod bent
Also. A valve job is completely unnecessary. If everything is going to be pulled off you pretty much may as well rebuild or replace all.
Another part is that having the heads all re done on a worn motor will spike cylinder pressures and may create more blowby and unseats the rings. This will cause excessive oil/carbon deposits in the cylinder which also cause accelerated wear. I don't know what the mileage is on your motor but I wouldn't suggest a shot of adrenalin to the old lady in lamen terms haha
There isn't anything wrong with replacing the faulty parts. If the cam love is decent and the lifter is not damaged just soak it in some high detergent for a day or so and re assemble it. Replace your pushrod and make sure the valve isn't bent. Make sure that the whole assembly of valve train in that trouble area is sound. Even the valve springs and rocker
