Tungsten Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) normal your exhaust manifold is probably warped or the manifold studs are cracked get a new exhaust manifold or get some headers Edited October 5, 2009 by Tungsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPerna Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 its not a valve tap? cause thats what it sounds like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) you can hear the valves if your exhaust manifold studs are cracked however if the truck doesn't run good, your timing belt could have slipped a few teeth and the cams are smacking valves Edited October 5, 2009 by Tungsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisPerna Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 okay so i know its not the timing belt cause the truck had a timing belt job last month and im afraid of getting headers cause i think if i put them in i will brake all the studs, what should i do?

Precise1 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Have you verified that it is the manifold/broken studs? That you need headers? I'll tell you how hard it is to install the Throley headers next week. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPerna Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 i see 2 broken studs already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeV Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 i see 2 broken studs already Watch Precise1's thread on Thorleys, I would recommend getting the Thorleys thru Steeevo as Precise1 did also as it is a excellent price & he is a trustworthy vendor. Truck will sound NICE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
