The car may be worse than what we thought. Misfires on 5 & 6. Took off the valvecovers, checked pushrods, one is fine the other is a tiny out of shape, but not enough to hear that kind of loud ticking. Took a look at the sparkplug and One of two things, bent valve or the lifter gave. Teardown begins tommorrow.
