ChevyHighPerformance is off the scale
Default Re: engine ticking

Is it possible that the breather hose to the K&N tube is blocked or pinched? This hose is part of the PCV system that flushes fresh air though the engine and pulls the vapors into the intake to be burned as part of the combustion. If the breather hose is blocked a vacuum can be pulled and may impact the valvetrain lubrication.
