Valve ticking I have a valve tick that started yesterday. When I got home from work I pulled the valve cover and the rocker on the drivers side closest to the firewall is really loose. I tightened it as far as I can and it’s still loose. I pulled the rocker off and checked the push rod and it’s good too. I put everything back together and it’s still loose. I cranked the engine and all the rockers seem to be moving normally. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
its a junkyard motor out of a 2000 so I don’t know how many miles it has on it. It’s a 5.3

rislone works really well at unsticking lifters. Check the length of the push rod. swap rockers around etc. It obviously shouldn't' be loose but only a few things could cause that.

I did switch rockers and pushrod around and same issue. I’m in the process of pulling the head right now. All the pushrods are the same length.
