Help: Clatter box - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Need some advice.

Whenever I get on the gas I hear this persistant clatter. I checked the exhaust and everything is tight. I had my valve covers off a few days ago and checked the rods. They were good except for one thing, they had some play from side to side. Is that normal?

I started the engine and the valve clatter didn't seem bad at all. But, I get the covers back on and head out the following morning and there it is again. I have good oil pressure. Adjusted the timing couple days ago. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks everyone!
