Well found a bent pushrod in the engine and replaced it. Then snapped a rocker shaft hold down bolt...    replaced it...    fired it up and i still have a weird ticking noise....    I used a wooden stick to see if i could find the emination of the sound...   tapped a fuel injector and the noise went away and has not come back...   

I am currently wrapping up some last minute details but plan on doing a shakedown run this coming week.  if everything else is good to go then it's alignment and then some summer fun.
