i went out and played with the 90 auto today to see if i realy need to put the new motor (used with new heads and only 75,000) in it. realy bad ticking sound allmost nocking. it is comming from under the blower on drive side. im thinking its a lifter.just did the headgaskets onit. oil and water mixed, could this cause a lifter to go bad? :confused: need to put it apart to see for sure.:rolleyes: what do you guys think?
 
Check to make sure the connection to the exhaust manifolds is secure. An exhaust leak at that junction can sound like a loose/squeaky rocker or possibly a malfunctioning lifter.
