I do 500 miles
I use cheapo oil for this but a motocraft filter to catch all the gunk
Then switch back to your good oil, for me its mobil one full syth 5-30W
Nice to hear its running properly!
I think you had some bad lifters allowing the slop in the pushrods
Keep an eye on coolant level now
A job well done!! Way to persevere!!
Thanks but Im definitely not happy with it yet, Im gonna try a heavier oil ( what can you recommend ) and if need be an oil additive such as slick 50 on my next oil change which is gonna be real soon cause Ive put almost 300 on it and the ticking is driving me insane cause of all the effort I put into it.
Its not getting better and not worse, still there and noticeable by me
