Re: High Knock in my Talon

Just got a call back from Red Rooster. He said a lot of the valves are leaking, and they marked which ones are leaking. I'm going to pick it up from them later and decide what to do exactly. So my only guess as to what happened was that some of the lifters were too pumped up still, and I should have bled them better, and resulted in a some valve bendage!

I am trying to decide what to do. I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of just giving the head a good refreshing. Just order all new valves, and get some stiffer springs put in for when I install the new cams. I don't want to go too crazy with it because my goal is 400hp, and i think a nice refreshed head with stiffer springs is plenty for that goal.
