Help!
Okay guys here is my problem. I had the inner cam tensioner fail at 32,000. I replaced the cam plate with the updated SE plate/pump combo. I added Head-Quarters HQ0034 cams with gear drive. I also replaced the lifters with the HD "B" lifters. I keep the stock push rods. After assembly the top end had a "tick". I pulled the rockers and pulled the lifters to try to prime them again in case I didn't get it right the first time. Got it back together and running this afternoon and the tick is still there. It actually sounds louder; to the point I could hear it from about 40 feet away. It did not make any noise before the tear down. Suggestions? I was thinking I may actually need to replace the push rods with adjustable. Everything looked good on disassembly. Most of the tensioner shoe broke up into big peices that I was able to remove from the cam chest. Cleaned things as best I could and checked as best I could. I am kind of at my wits end on this. Thanks guys!

Another option/possibilty is that one of the new lifters is bad or got some debris in it that the original lifters avoided. I could put the original lifters back in. What do you think?

Don't think I need the tools for the rockers. I think that is just for the EVO's. I made up a cardboard box stand to put the push rods in to make sure they wnet back in the proper spot. The rocker assembly has a nub to locate itself on the head. But thanks for the suggestion. I will double check the book to make sure I didn't miss anything.

The lift on the cams is less than .510. I am thinking that something got into the new lifters or one (or more) is screwed up. I may go and put the original lifters back in to see if that makes the problem go away.
