Hi my name is Chris. I recently was fortunate to get my hands on a 1974 ford courier with a 1.8 motor! The issue I'm having is a ticking/tapping sound from the top of the motor. It sounds like a bad lifter(just to describe the sound). I know it does not have lifters due to it being an overhead cam motor. What I have done to rectify the sound:
I replaced the timing chain, guides, sprockets, auto adjuster, oil pump, water pump, gaskets all around, cleaned the carbon buildup out of the motor and head, changed the oil and filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, points, ignition coil, adjusted timing. It used to have emission equipment but it has all been removed due to being inoperative and not necessary where I live. Any advice on what to look at next would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Chris
