Y'all, I need help, b230ft 95 squirter block with a 531 head+Ipd turbo cam
I've done a light port job and port matching, put the head back together checked over it nothing seemed out of place, doesn't seem to lack power either.Ticking seems to be coming from 3rd cylinder and is louder at the exhaust than above the valve cover. Shims clearances are tighter than they should be and will need adjusting.
Can't be Piston slap as it doesn't change whether it's hot or cold.
Also it sometimes idles without ticking and other times it does.
Any ideas on what it could be??
