So last week was battery terminal and getting her started, which has been done. One pump of the pedal and turn the key and she is running. Problems now are:
1) Loud tick from the under the driver side valve cover
2) although she idles nicely when I step on the gas she dies out.
I took off the valve cover and the four rockers to the back of the motor on the driver side have a lot of side to side play. The others didn't move at all. Could that just have been due to the positioning of the cam on the lifters at the point I looked at it? Anything I can check?
Going to pull the plugs this weekend to take a gander that nothing is mucked up. Its been years since new plugs but they have minimal mileage on them. Any other thoughts?
