1.6 Roller rocker install completed.... ...on a stock 1993 lt1 camshaft. 1.6 Proform RR, Lt4 springs and retainers.
Everything works fine now, except I have a small tick. I've checked all the RR, and all of them are tight enough. Is that a valve ticking?
What could go wrong now that the RR are installed? I drove the car for 45 mins including a couple hard 0-60 runs and the engine didnt miss a beat.
Also, I replaced the valve seals, at 145,XXX on the odo, I guess they needed it?
Thanks,

Two questions...
I'm pretty certain I have the roller rockers on tight/loose enough.
But, what would happen if they were on too tight?
What would happen if they were on too loose?
-Thanks
