Re: 352: Light Tic Under Light Load, At 2000-3000 RPM

Well that did not fix it even a little. I did discover it will make the noise sitting still, at 3000-3500 RPM.

Packard V8 I misunderstood. I agree, that's a good way to isolate the cylinders. But for now, I am going back to the earlier plan, drive it till something breaks, then we will know what the problem was. Meanwhile, I will go ahead and assemble a fresh shorty block in the next few months.

Forgot to mention, new timing chain when I swapped the heads (OEM type), but re-used the gears, since they looked OK.

I still say the Packard V8 can be finicky sometimes :)

Thanks Again Folks
