So, I played with the valve gaps yesterday. When I reduced them to 0, the clacking sound disappeared at idle but was still there at acceleration.
Even when turning the engine by hand slowly, I could hear a 'toc" sound each time the cam was pushing on the intake valves.
Short of replacing the rockers, I dont see what else I could do...
I'll look on eBay.
Anyone replaced those without removing the engine and the head?
I think by removing the timing wheel at the end of the camshaft I can get to the 2 rocker chafts.
