valve train noise
How much oil pressure do you have?

Was clicking in my Cobra Jet for long time. Electric gauge sat at 1/2 mark. Put on simple mechanical one and it read 22 PSI. Just enough for bearings to survive, but not enough for the mush lifters. Found a blown gasket on oil pump where it bolts to block.
