Well we hava installed the engine and done everything we could think of to
make it as good as we could short of ripping appart the block and doing a
complete rebuild.  We stated the engine for the first time in 5
months(working on the car only on the weekends)and have done a head job plus
other things.  But we have a problem.  Engine roared to life in about 5
cranks but it had the loudest clacking sound it has ever made.  I we waited
about a minute to let the lifters pump up with oil but the sound never went
away.  We adjusted the valves according to the procedure in the green block
and using the head procedure available here on the article files.  I wonder
if anyone has gone through this same thing.  We used remanufactured heads
and kept all pushrods in their lifetime living quarters.  I dont know if im
asking too much of an open ended question but i appreciate all the free info
gotten here through this whole thing,  its been my support.   Anyway thanx,
  Raul
