I posted this on Facebook page but would like to post it here too.
I parked my car and went to use restroom at my friend's and his old dad was outside checking car and he turned car on and revived so high I could hear it and then he revived one where he floored down the whole pedal for almost 3 seconds, I would say RPM above 7000 and I ran to car and he turned off, I was hoping nothing would happen, as soon as I drive it I hear ticking and oil pressure needle on my gauge went down a bit.
Its a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 with 351 Cleveland 2V upgraded intake to 4V with Holley 600 CFM.
I took driver side valve cover to check push rod and rockers and they all seemed fine, I did not take off lifters. Also i took off passenger side valve covers and they all looked good as well but I did not take the passenger side rocker arms and push rods out to check them individually.
After all this happened my car is running rough and idles higher than it used to be before that guy revived it high. I think maybe it jumped off timing as well.
I am going to post a video of the sound along with pictures. Also from how hard the flooring down was my alternator belt flew away.
Do yall think I need new lifters, push rods & rocker arm? if that is the case then please recommend brand name for them.
Thank you guys.
also a quick add, a Cleveland expert from car show I went to yesterday saw this and told me its not engine rod, he told me it sound like one or more lifters collapsed from each valve cover side and if it was engine knock it would sound way different.
