pull all those PRs out and roll 'em on some glass. 14.3 is a garbage *** time for an F body. You're definitely going to have to make up for that.

ok so there is no bent push rods. found out that passenger side was clean and driver side wasnt. driver side push rods were cloged and wouldnt let oil go to top to rockers and that was the tapping noise. i have the push rods soaking in fresh oil over night and tomm ill put the car back together and change the oil. should i use some of that lucus treatment to clean the driver side head so it will come close to the passenger side? and since this was like this is this y i went through so much oil burning?
