Hi
Looking for some guidance on my 72 grande H code 351 Cleveland. I just replaced the timing chain, I used an edelbrock #7821 that by the way was a very tight fit had to pry a little to get it in. Also replaced fuel pump, and water pump. Started the car and there was a ticking noise, shut it off within a minute, checked the oil and noticed that some radiator fluid had gone into the oil. Could I have over tighten the timing chain cover that I damaged the gasket causing the radiator fluid to zip through? Could the timing chain just be to tight that is causing that ticking noise? Any advise would be appreciated.
