MS4 installed :) Well it took a couple weeks but I got the install done. 
Now I understand the valvetrain will be louder, which I don't have a problem with. My first start up went well. It did take a while but found a good idle yesterday. So today I took it out for it's first drive, and all of a sudden I hear a much louder ticking that speeds up and slows down with the engine RPM. I have been watching my oil pressure, and it has stayed good and steady. Does anyone have any ideas before I tear it apart looking for my problem. Or maybe its normal
what ever it is it comes and goes, but it does not sound right to me.
